The soprano has all those other instruments in it. It's got the soprano song voice, flute, violin, clarinet, and tenor elements and can even approach the baritone in intensity.
From Steve Lacy
Bamboo is not a weed, it's a flowering plant. Bamboo is a magnificent plant.
I still love the whole history of jazz. The old things sound better than ever.

Jazz is like wine. When it is new, it is only for the experts, but when it gets older, everybody wants it.
The soprano turned out to sound to me like the right hand on the piano.
Saxophone is one thing, and music is another.
You can work on the saxophone alone, but ultimately you must perform with others.
When I came up, it was all about originality and collective research. There is an awful lot of imitation going on now.
