Stunning 2CD package of four sessions that capture the soprano legend in imperious form, surrounded by fine American and European players who are fully tuned into his unique sound world. While the trio, quartet and quintet sessions of Disposability, Sortie and The Rush & The Thing have all of the truly gripping blend of tough, bold expressivity and flinty poetry that defined so much of Lacy's body of work it is the set of short pieces, or ‘film cues’ for a movie called Free Fall, that is the absolute jewel in the crown of this release. With concision being the order of the day the pieces are roughly a minute long. In fact, some are just over 30 seconds, but they are true marvels of economic, highly focused, but unrestrained creativity, with percolating riffs from the A-list drums and bass team of Paul Motian and Kent Carter supplemented by a series of superbly liquid lines from Lacy and Karl Berger. The time constraints were actually turned to creative advantage. This is an important previously unissued session (as is The Rush) that provides another insight into Lacy's great conceptual daring and technical prowess.
