Some words on this issue: LACY, STEVE – The STEVE LACY SEXTET: “The Wire” (Columbia Records – YX-7553-ND) GREAT condition original – rarest of the rarest Lacy recordings. Recorded in 1975 but not released until 1977, The Wire ranks amongst one of Lacy’s finest recordings and his rarest to seep out of Japan. Improvising and playing his own compositions with the cream of the cream of the creative Japanese scene. The Wire was recorded in 1975 recording by a Japanese sextet that included Steve Lacy on soprano saxophone, Masahiko Satoh on piano, Masahiko Togashi on percussion, Keiki Midorikawa on cello and bass, Yoshio Ikeda on bass, and Motoharu Yoshizawa on bass. If you note a preponderance of low-frequency strings, you are correct! Although clearly identifiable as ‘free jazz’, there are strong compositions and structures to accompany the wild improvisation. The way the Togashi, Midorikawa, Satoh, Yoshisawa and Ikeda are dealing with the material and the music is astonishing. The interacting seems to really fit the way that the compositional material is constructed. The string dominated sound of the group works extremely well with the sole sax playing by maestro Lacy. Top condition original pressing. Impossibly rare and hard to get, especially in such nice condition as this one here….
