This is Steve Lacy's album of Hat Hut in 1980s. This is rather big work in two vinyls. Although I do not think this is very innovative or very new work in Steve Lacy's various opus, very gay, easy to listen (even non free jazz music lover would love this), but various aspects of Steve's music are picked up and shown like“Prospectus.

And I admire excellence of George Lewis as trombone player. As a music creator and composer, I am not so fond of his abstract, well-calculated and experimental style of works, which takes similar style of Roscoe Mitchel but not as vital as him, and sounds like a certain kind of modern classic music. Difficult to imagine what is called "Jazz music". But, as trombone player, he has nice tone and bright phrases with unbelievable virtuous technical.

This file is converted from casset tape. I think sound quality is affordable for enjoying in ordinal level music player.

This is very outstaindingly gigantic works in its lengthy and numbers of players in free jazz orchestral works. Non-stop over 2 hours and 20 minutes long and participants are as the above. His previous album of Celestrial communication orchestra "Luna Surface" (same in BYG label) is chaotic music. Drastic collective improvisation continues in 30 and several minutes. But this Seasons is different. Parts of Corrective imporvisation, arranged, solos are allocated in calculated manner. Sounds vary in stream of music. Whole work arises unique imagination in listners.
