A great sadness: Steve Lacy passed away earlier today. He was one of
the greatest soprano sax masters of all times, a superb song writer
(over 250 songs in the last twenty years) -- working in close
collaboration with his wife, the singer Irene Aebi --, and a major
reader & connaisseur of poetry (the source for his lyrics). He was also
a wonderful friend to those who knew him, and one of the finest &
gentlest human beings it has been my pleasure to know. He will be
greatly missed.
