Only Monk

"This set is a solo soprano saxophone recital in which Lacy digs into nine of Monk's compositions... As usual, Lacy shows great respect for the melodies, and his improvisations are built off of the themes rather than just the chord changes. The sparse setting allows the soprano master to utilize space effectively and to take his time. The overall results, which are certainly for selective tastes, are often fascinating."   (source: All Music Guide - S. Yanow)
