The Gleam is an album by saxophonist Steve Lacy's Sextet, recorded in 1986 and released on the Swedish Silkheart label.

[1][2][3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz stated that "it's another perfectly acceptable quartet performance for enthusiasts, and the two takes of 'Napping' provide much to think about"[5] In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated: "This Silkheart release has one of the finest all-around recordings by Steve Lacy's Sextet ... all five compositions are Lacy originals.

Overall, this set gives listeners a particularly strong example of the work of the innovative Steve Lacy Sextet.".
