'Sands' - Steve Lacy
 
One of my (many) oddities is an abiding interest in the music musicians record toward the end of their lives, after the pipes are shot, the breath is going, the hands shake. You can't get over by showing off, even a little, so you have to 'play yourself.'
 
Anyway, this is one of those albums. Lacy played the soprano sax, a hard beast to ride, and this particular album is just him and the instrument and his tunes.
 
I'm listening on a pair of Grado SR60is, fed from a MusicStreamer II to a cMoy amp from the guy on ebay who builds the original, nice 'bass booster.' There's nothing seriously audiophile about it, but I don't care. It sounds fine.

I have never even heard of Steve Lacy but on the strength of your well written words I'm going to find it & give it a spin. Thank you.
 
I'm currently listening to, dont laugh...
 

 
...and it's not half bad either.
