Charles Lloyd: Sangam & Friends

Read "Sangam & Friends" reviewed by Jack Kenny

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. At the core of Sangam & Friends lies the Lloyd--Zakir Hussain--Eric Harland triangle, ...

Charles Lloyd: Sangam & Friends

Read "Sangam & Friends" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

With the release of Sangam & Friends, saxophonist-flutist Charles Lloyd pays homage to his kindred spirit and longtime collaborator, tabla master Zakir Hussain. Not that any reaffirmation was necessary based on their prior efforts together, but this album vividly depicts the deep musical affinity between the two extraordinary musicians as well as their sympathetic associates.

Piano Four-té: Keyboard Masters Delight On A Quartet of ECM Luminessence Vinyl Reissues

Read "Piano Four-té: Keyboard Masters Delight On A Quartet of ECM Luminessence Vinyl Reissues" reviewed by Joshua Weiner

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. Over the past half century, the German ECM label has earned its place in this pantheon by steadfastly following its own vision, perhaps best summed up by ...
