A full four years after Chicago organ maestro Jimmy Lacy's legendary maiden voyage as SiP, Leos Naturals, he returns with it's lush, layered, long-awaited sequel: Leos Ultras. Conceived and recorded in a corner of a large floorplan warehouse-turned-sound lab called Homan Gardens, the album radiates a rare joy and color, projected through a technicolor slideshow of cosmic keys, clarinet, kalimba, sax, melodica, flute, tambourine, and drumbox. The songs feel warm and weathered, like familiar garments treasured through passing seasons. Many seasons did pass while these songs took shape, spiked with seismic changes - Lacy's first daughter was born, followed 17 months by a second. Daily routines grew denser, but he never lost faith in the melodies simmering in the periphery of his thoughts: "I knew the music would be there whenever I had the time. It felt good to stay calm about it." Patience paid off; Leos Ultras is indeed the ultimate SiP statement to date, rich with detail, discovery, beauty, lofted improvisation, and shades of spiritual jazz. It's music both casual and cosmic, playful and poignant, channeled from long shadows and wordless hours in celebration of life, love, and Leo.
