Prospectus is a live album by soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy, which was recorded in France in 1982 and first released on the hat ART label in 1983 as a double LP.

[1][2][3] The album was rereleased as a single CD with only five tracks in 1999 as Clichés.

[4] The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Lacy offered an alternative way to play free jazz, contrasting sound and silence and taking thoughtful and often-scalar improvisations not absent of melody and lyricism, but still quite adventurous and unpredictable.

[5] Reviewing the CD reissue for All About Jazz Glenn Astarita said "Cliches is absolutely essential listening for fans of this brilliant soprano saxophonist-composer!

... the indications are that of a world class musician who along with his estimable bandmates present the jazz world with 63-minutes of music magic as Cliches is yet another noteworthy addition to Steve Lacy’s distinguished recorded legacy!".
