In first of this series, we heard some of Steve Lacy’s first recordings, and then focused on two of his performances of Monk’s piece “Evidence.” Last time we heard two pieces from a never-issued session of Lacy playing Monk tunes, on October 31, 1961, with bassist Carl Brown (what little we know about him is in the first essay), and Billy.
There are two copies of Findings on ebay. Not cheap. I just bought the "Conversations" book from Australia, a bit over $50 with shipping. I buy a lot of books and records on that platform, good prices, and no issues that weren't fixed right away. I DO check ratings for vendors, look for numbers 98-99% positive. Shipping sometimes slow, CD cases are sometimes cracked in shipping.
Hello Jacques, no that is only the first 64 pages of the book, and actually it is not legal. The full book as you know is 221 pages. However that PDF file is a good sample. THANK YOU
I've not paid much attention to Lacy, but always enjoyed his playing when I've heard it. And these recordings are especially nice. I've appreciate suggestions for some of his CDs to listen to.
There are so many great ones, including Evidence with Don Cherry that I mentioned in Part 1, and the Straight Horn of Steve Lacy that Camila Hamel mentioned in the comments to Part 2. I also love his solo sax albums of Monk—Only Monk and More Monk. Maybe our readers will name some more favorites.
Thanks, Lewis! I've seen this session listed for so many years in the Atlantic Records discography but assumed like others have that the tape was lost in the Atlantic vaults fire. Glad to know it still exists. I wish the company had put the material out way back when!
I didn't know that you are working on one! Please tell me the information (you can send me a private email). I know of another author here in NYC, but he is not yet ready to share the details. THANK YOU JACQUES
Too bad--due to such incidents, I don't loan any of my library out anymore, to anyone. If you email me privately I may have a solution for you. THANK YOU CHAD
good luck with finding findings
I found a copy of ‚Findings‘ once upon a time in the public library in Portland, Oregon.

Yes, those of us who bought it when it was new are the lucky ones.
Thank you for the three-part series on Steve Lacy
I really appreciate your work and especially your insights, which are like invitations to little parties in far-away places.
Thank you Brandon!

Lewis, I don't know which book you think of, maybe I'll publish one soon.

This was a great series. My copy of "Findings", which had been gifted to me, walked away with a student years ago and I've never been the same since.
