Charles Lloyd: Sangam & Friends
by Jack Kenny
It has been fascinating to observe how Charles Lloyd has travelled from his near rock-star prominence in the 1960s to his current stature as a spiritually oriented elder, often credited with fostering a meaningful dialogue between Eastern and Western musical traditions.

by Doug Collette

Piano Four-té: Keyboard Masters Delight On A Quartet of ECM Luminessence Vinyl Reissues
by Joshua Weiner
Blue Note. Verve. Impulse! Prestige. Just saying the name of such storied jazz record labels immediately conjures up each one's distinct aesthetic, from the music to the cover art.
