It was even better that I didn't know who Steve Lacy was. They did Josh's arrangements of Steve's music from the period when Steve was in Paris. Reading his Wikipedia bio, it could have been anywhere between 1970 and 2002, but I think it was a few years closer to 1970. Check out the AAJ bio, it's full of information. I feel like I may have seen him before, but his death pre-dates my blog so it's doubtful I'll ever know for sure.
It was great music performed by great musicians. I loved it. The next set was going to be more of Steve Lacey's music, but with the addition of Roswell Rudd. I was too tired to stay, but I'm sure it was awesome.
Ideal Bread
Josh Sinton (baritone sax) Kirk Knuffke (cornet) Richard Giddens (bass) Tomas Fujiwara (drums)
Ideal Bread is dedicated to presenting the compositions of Steve Lacy. This quartet of expert improvisers is made up of four strong players, all considered notable up 'n' comers to watch on the modern jazz scene. Steve Lacy is considered one of the 3 greatest soprano saxophonists of all time and is a modern jazz legend, but his many compositions have not found the kind of favor in the repertoire as they deserve. Ideal Bread exist to change that and they approach Lacy's rarely covered compositions with wit and swing.
