Charles Lloyd
Born:
Charles Lloyd, is an NEA Jazz Master and recipient of the prestigious French honor, l’Ordre Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres. Voted Down Beat magazine’s Jazzman of the year in 1967, Lloyd was again voted the 2023 Artist of the Year for his current body of work – the arc of his contribution to this artform starts in the early 1960s – the depth of his expression reflects a lifetime of experience. Lloyd has a legendary history in the music world, and could certainly be in a position to slow down and rest on his laurels. But looking back has never been of great interest to this tender warrior; “Go forward,” is his motto, as he keeps shifting to a higher, well calibrated gear.

2026 Newport Jazz Festival, Part 2
by Mark Robbins
Jazz at Newport has always been about more than keeping a tradition alive. It is also about seeing where the music is going.

Michel Petrucciani / Dave Holland / Eliot Zigmund: Kuumbwa
by Jack Bowers
Michel Petrucciani was not blessed with a long life. What the French-born jazz pianist was blessed with was an enormous talent, one most people could not amass in several lifetimes. Petrucciani was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disease that led to brittle bones, stunted his growth and left him in almost constant pain--the ...
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. At the core of Sangam & Friends lies the Lloyd--Zakir Hussain--Eric Harland triangle, ...
Charles Lloyd: Sangam & Friends
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.
Mick Goodrick: In Pas(s)ing
by Jack Kenny
Let us start with the recording itself. For this album the quality of the recording is as important as the playing. It was made at Talent Studio in Oslo by Jan Erik Kongshaug--and is typically in the style of ECM Records: spacious, detailed, each instrument given room to breathe without being isolated from its neighbor. But ...
