Capers is a live album by soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy recorded in New York in 1979 which was first released on the HatHut label in 1981 as a double LP.

Somehow, he seems most free and confident in this format, curiously more so than in his rare duo or more popular solo outings.

[5] On All About Jazz, Robert Spencer wrote "This disc, recorded in 1979, captures Lacy during a freer, more fiery period.

Boykins, who never got the recognition he deserved for his ground-breaking work on bass in the Sun Ra Arkestra, and Charles, a legendarily incendiary drummer, spur Lacy on to heights of saxophonic fury that are purely and utterly delightful ... all three play excellently throughout.

We owe a debt of gratitude to Hat Hut Records for giving us this monument of a great and sparsely-recorded trio".
