We don’t determine music,
the music determines us;
we only follow it
to the end of our life:
then it goes on without us.

It begs to be born and,
wants to go it’s own way,
we just make it up and:
then we let it out.

Music speaks for itself,
and needs no explanation
or justification.
Either it is alive,
or it is not.

Steve Lacy ‘90

Sextet (Parker) 1993

Hard to improve on the old Hat Art double CD but this does. Boisterous tribute to Parker's music piling on all the additions Parker started and others advanced. These interpretations go every which way and while tunes are repeated each performance is it's own thing. Can't recommend this highly enough. This is living, breathing, kicking music. Mr. Edison
