Lacrosse is a double album by John Zorn. It is made up of different takes of his early game piece, "Lacrosse". The first disc is from WKCR in June 1978 where Mark Abbott, Polly Bradfield, Eugene Chadbourne, and LaDonna Smith and Zorn recorded six different takes. Takes 3, 4 and 6 were originally released on the Parachute Records double LP School (1978). The second disc is the original recording of "Lacrosse" which was made by Eugene Chadbourne, Henry Kaiser, Bruce Ackley, and Zorn (dubbed "Twins") in San Francisco, California in June 1977.
Lacrosse was originally released in 1997 as a part of The Parachute Years box set and then released on its own in 2000.[1]
The Allmusic review by Joslyn Layne awarded the album two stars, stating "The release consists of a number of takes, or outcomes, of two different groups of musicians performing this structure for improvisation."[2]
