Derek Bailey. Steve Lacy – Outcome
Rec: Live at Dunois, Paris (1983)
Derek Bailey. electric guitar
Steve Lacy. soprano saxophone
reviewby Steve Loewy
This is only the second recorded collaboration between guitarist Derek Bailey and soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy, and while the rarity of the event adds to the thrill, there is little question of the outstanding results produced on this particular occasion. As critic Jon Morgan points out in the liner notes, Lacy and Bailey embrace different concepts of improvisation, yet neither sacrifices any of his individuality to meet the other on common ground. There is little of the conversational quality so often found when musical giants play in tandem. Instead, the five pieces reflect two performers in peak form, each of whom displays his abilities to the fullest. Lacy has rarely sounded better, taking full advantage of the freedom of Bailey’s electric guitar. While you are not likely to hear an ounce of familiarity in Bailey’s contribution (he always seems sui generis), the guitarist continues to amaze with his independence and originality. Anyone even modestly interested in either Lacy or Bailey will wish to hear this one.

Outcome is an exceptional new release brought to us from the fine Paris, France based label, Potlatch and features modern day innovators, soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy and guitarist Derek Bailey performing a series of duets culled from a live concert in Paris, 1983. Historically, these two giants of modern music have seldom performed as a duo, which might seem a bit unusual when considering their numerous collaborations within various ensembles over the years. However, we can only treasure the bright moments when they occur, as this outing should delight many fans while the better than expected recording quality strengthens or enhances the overall experience!
With Input #1, Steve Lacys acute lyricism and brilliant integration of melody along with his heralded if not infamous delivery is perpetuated by Derek Baileys seemingly uncanny sense of rhythm especially when considering how he coalesces with the soprano saxophonists fluid lines and shifty thematic inventions. On this 16-minute piece, Bailey takes on the imaginable guise of a one-man band performing simultaneous parts in support of the lead soloist. Here, the musicians explore a variety of on-the-fly motifs and engagements while Bailey supplies the undercurrents, alters the flow and works his way into areas that to the commoner, might seem impossible or perhaps something akin to a point of no return. True improvisation of the highest order continues on Input #2, as Bailey implements his mastery of volume control techniques on the electric guitar while slicing and dicing through harmonics and dissonant chord progressions. Once again Lacy and Bailey work from within, sans any predefined or conspicuous endpoint(s) as the numerous movements and intuitive interaction emits a sense of timelessness or perhaps cosmic bliss. Input # 3, features an improvised arrangement where Lacy honks and grinds his soprano in tandem with Baileys chop chords as though the musicians were attempting to choreograph a dance for two awkward souls who in effect, may be tripping over their own feet. Lucid imagery and spurts of humor prevail while the musicians flirt with a loosely based blues/swing motif on Input # 5 thanks to Lacys sweet overtones and Baileys fragmented lines as this remarkable encounter approaches its conclusion!
Outcome could also be titled, The Art Of Improvising or How To Create Your Own Musical Language! Here we are treated to a didactic discourse from two proven masters who explore territories previously inhabited by only a select few! – Essential – * * * * *
