About
Steve Lacy and Brion Gysin represent a collaboration between avant-garde saxophone pioneer Lacy and experimental artist/writer Gysin. Their 1981 release Songs documents an intersection of contemporary composition and cut-up poetics. Lacy's reductive, minimalist approach to the soprano saxophone combined with Gysin's pioneering work in sound experimentation and text-based performance created innovative work bridging jazz, experimental music, and literary avant-garde practice.
