Clinkers is a live solo album by soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy which was released on the HatHut label in 1978.

The perfect intonation, symmetrical melodies, and warped interpretations lead to altered expectations, as Lacy winds his way across terrain uniquely his own.

One of the few instrumentalists who can sustain a solo performance for seemingly indefinite periods, the saxophonist's cool and restrained yet radical style is fully displayed without a moment's lapse".

[4] On All About Jazz, Robert Spencer wrote "Lacy's music always has a strong coherence and grasp of continuity.

These tracks may take a little more time to come to grips with than the accessible trio music Lacy's been making lately, but it's well worth the effort: like all of this master's music, these tracks are emotionally rich and noble, full of possibilities noted and realized.
