Lars Danielsson: Tarantella
by John Kelman
Choosing the right players can be the decision that makes or breaks a project. For years, now--as far back as his longstanding (and outstanding) quartet with saxophonist Dave Liebman, pianist Bobo Stenson and drummer Jon Christensen, through to the Norwegian posse on the electronica-centric Mélange Bleu and his intimate duet recording with Polish pianist Leszek Możdżer, ...

Charles Lloyd: Dream Weaver - The Charles Lloyd Anthology - The Atlantic Years 1966-1969
by Chris May
Beautiful and absorbing though most of them are, Charles Lloyd's discs on ECM, with whom the reed player has been recording for almost twenty years, have tended to overshadow the wonderful albums he made with the Charles Lloyd Quartet for Atlantic forty and more years ago.With Atlantic, Lloyd notched up eight LPs recorded in ...
Charles Lloyd Quartet: Rabo de Nube
by Stuart Broomer
Charles Lloyd has an obvious knack for assembling bands; it's been apparent since he first launched his quartet in the mid '60s with Keith Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette and Cecil McBee or Ron McClure. In the decades following he's often employed fine musicians with very different styles, including pianists Michel Petrucciani and Geri Allen, guitarist John Abercrombie ...
Charles Lloyd New Quartet in San Francisco
by Eric Benson
Charles Lloyd New Quartet Herbst Theater San Francisco March 28, 2008 Is there a point at which deeply spiritual music becomes too ethereal for its own good? A point at which both message and music are lost on an earth-bound audience? John Coltrane's late-career immersion in the spiritual through turning ...
Charles Lloyd: Rabo De Nube
by Budd Kopman
Jazz is a magical thing that exists, paradoxically, both in the unique existential moment of creation, never to happen again and on record, where crystallizing the ephemeral is attempted. Hearing jazz live can be a peak experience, but barring that, listening to a good recording of a great concert can come close, albeit vicariously. Rabo de ...
Charles Lloyd Quartet: Rabo De Nube
by John Kelman
Woodwind multi-instrumentalist Charles Lloyd has traversed considerable musical territory with nary a misstep across a dozen albums, since joining the ECM fold in 1989. Still, as undeniably fine as albums including Sangam (2006), Jumping the Creek (2005) and Which Way is East (2004) are, what Lloyd's been missing is a consistent line-up to rival his mid-1990s ...
Charles Lloyd Quartet: Rabo De Nube
by Chris May
It's fitting that the shimmeringly beautiful Rabo De Nube, which is being released to celebrate reed player Charles Lloyd's 70th birthday on March 15, 2008, is a live album. Lloyd became a star forty years ago with a series of paradigm-shifting live discs recorded on a seemingly never-ending tour of the USA and Europe--seven of them ...
