Recorded on November 24, 1973, Us is a landmark session from saxophonist Byard Lancaster, captured alongside drummer Steve McCall and bassist Sylvin Marc. Rooted in the free jazz tradition, Lancaster's music draws from the post-Coltrane lineage while embracing what producer François Tusques famously described as an authentic fusion of soul and free jazz — a sound that feels both deeply spiritual and fiercely exploratory.
Now reissued by SouffleContinu Records, Us showcases Lancaster at his most expressive, delivering a raw and resonant performance that highlights his singular tone and improvisational depth. The interplay between the trio is organic and unrelenting, moving fluidly between introspective passages and unbridled energy — making this an essential listen for fans of avant-garde and free jazz.
