This is the 1966 album released by Steve Lacy on ESP Disk, a soprano saxophonist widely acclaimed as one of the finest in his field, who has been active since the mid-1950s. He made significant contributions to the promotion of avant-garde/free jazz through his participation in the Jazz Composers Orchestra, formed in the mid-1960s with figures like Carla Bley and Michael Mantler, and through numerous sessions. This album features a quartet with strong players Enrico Rava (tp), Johnny Dyani (b), and Louis T. Moholo (ds), recording the live session held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1966. The recording captures a thrilling, extended session where the interplay, reminiscent of the sounds of various creatures, unfolds around the themes of "Forest" and "Zoo." This reissue is likely from the early 1980s, released by the Italian label Base Record.
