Some words on this issue: LACY, STEVE: “Torments – Solo In Kyoto” (Morgue – Morgue-01) Great copy of the rarest of Lacy’s recordings. Recorded live from a solo concert at the Silk Hall Kyoto in Kyoto on July 6, 1975, it depicts Lacy at his finest hour ever. It was Lacy’s first ever gig in Kyoto and the material on display here was taken from the first set of that evening. Enfant terrible, music critic and writer Aquirax Aida, who invited Lacy over to Japan and staged some concerts for him, organized the whole affair and eventually released this in 1975 on his own Morgue label, in a very tiny edition of about 200 copies only. His first adventure in Japan was without a doubt the most daring and astonishing of all his trips over there. He was then tapping into still virginal territory, mapping out the boundaries of his own still developing playing and touching reputedly on magic and greatness that only a very few can even dream off of possibly attaining, but Lacy did it. Other much desired ones like this one here, possibly his rarest one is craved for by many but only actually seen by a very few select avid music fans. “Steve Lacy – Torments – Solo in Kyoto” is in a way a bit like Van Gogh’s stunningly colorful paintings or like a surreal Dali coming to life through sound. He blows out a gently myriad sound by playing an instrument – the soprano saxophone – which has had few real icons. But Lacy truly was an icon for the instrument and singlehandedly rescued it from obscurity, giving it a potent voice in the avant-garde. Simply stuff of legends. Hideously rare LP, released in an edition of 200 copies according to Mr. Kojima and copies in such nice nick as this baby here simply do not turn up. Certainly one of those Holy Records in many Free Jazz top ten. As usual, a slightly lesser sleeve at EX condition as most of the surviving copies, disc is virginal.
