steve lacy's farewell to europe tour? is he leaving? why and where?

Lacy got a teaching position at the New England Conservatory (Boston). Why? He simply got tired to live in Paris where he barely played. Even when I was living in Paris (20 years ago), Lacy was barely playing more than 5 times a year. This dropped to almost one in the past ten years... Ironically, the French government just gave him a medal. You have to leave or die for people noticing that you exist... Patrice.
