«If I am allowed to borrow a series of happy concepts from Francois Truffaut to express an opinion on Steve Lacy, I would like to take up again what the French director had to say about Jean Renoir: more than once we have talked about Lacy in terms of infallibility or almost, perhaps arousing the anger of the self-styled lovers of ‘masterpieces’ who demand from a musician a homogeneity of purpose and realization, which Lacy, luckily for him, has never sought.
