The legendary reeds/man Steve Lacy takes on the brilliant compositions of Thelonious Monk. Originally released in 1959, Reflections is a glorious quartet session with Lacy on soprano sax, accompanied by the great Mal Waldron on piano, as worthy a pianist to take on the tunes of Monk as one could imagine, along with Buell Neidlinger on bass, and the amazing Elvin Jones on the trap kit. Though it-s only Lacy-s second recording as a leader, his maturity and range are well on display here as he re/imagines 7 of Monk-s beautiful tunes as his own.
