about

Steve Lacy’s solo and group playing has deeply influenced Howard’s conception of saxophone music. In his last solo concert, “Wickets”, a Lacy original, formed the midpoint or spine of the concert. That initial foray into Lacy’s compositional world prompted Howard to plan an entire program of his pieces. In each one, Lacy uses the entire range of the saxophone and emphasizes idiosyncratic intervals and harmony, providing an interesting challenge to the player. Howard has let the quirks of the tenor saxophone guide his adaptations of these soprano saxophone lines.
