Steve Lacy Quartet:

Sortie

Cette idée de sortie, c'est la sortie vers le Free, le désir de se débarrasser de tout le bagage qu'on avait mis des années de pratique intense à acquérir.

(Steve Lacy interviewé par Patrick Schuster pour NOTES n° 20 - 1er trimestre 1986)

Recorded in 1966

Note: (B4) was "forgoten" in some editions (Globe and Polydor), because of its very short duration. Kentz and Roussel give another explanation (discography v. 5): "it seems [in the Globe pressing] that in order to reach the correct track number, ["Fork New York"] was cut in two with the second part named "Living T. Blues", and "Living T. Blues" ended up with the title "2-Fou".
