"The special qualities of this music emerge from the focus on Lacy’s soprano saxophone in this unique instrumentation; the transparency and intimacy of the bass and guitar create a nuanced background set against the variety of improvisational strategies." - Art Lange

"The removal of two recorded compositions and the editing here is based on notes originally written by Steve Lacy on the cassette he sent me to listen to and evaluate the music for release. I acquired the original recording in 1985 from Mario Conforti and stored it in my archives. I lost track of the music over time, and Steve forgot to remind me. The discovery of an unofficial release by Barry Wedgle on his own label reminded me of the recording and made me relisten to the tape and decide to release it. You now have the music, edited based on Steve Lacy's instructions, and mastered from the original Beta tape, to listen to in the best possible quality." - Werner X. Uehlinger
