Ideal Bread was started to perform the idiosyncratic (and underplayed) compositions of Steve Lacy. Using these pieces as a starting point, the group has blossomed into a dynamic and charismatic band. They demonstrate respect for Lacy's work by investigating its compositional implications every time they step up to play. Ideal Bread's music is an exciting demonstration of the possibilities of interpretation and improvisation; this is 'free-bop' at its very best! If anyone deserves such a project, it is soprano saxophone innovator Steve Lacy (1930-2004). He was an integral component of Cecil Taylor's first unit, starting in 1955, and he would then go on to liberate the soprano saxophone and reform the landscape of composition in improvised music. The group was formed in 2005 by Josh Sinton(baritone saxophone) with Kirk Knuffke (trumpet), Reuben Radding(bass) and Tomas Fujiwara (drums), all of whom are rising stars on their instruments and important contributors to today's modern/avant jazz scene.
