Bone - A Tribute to Steve Lacy

"This tribute was written as a goodbye present for Steve Lacy on his departure to Boston after a thirty year stay in Europe. This is not a definitive biography of Steve Lacy, nor a complete musicological analysis, but a collection of highly individual reactions to Lacy’s art.

Stephanie Stein Crease: "Gil Evans - Out Of The Cool: His life and music"

And it shows how his unflagging creativity galvanized the most prominent jazz musicians in the world, both black and white."
