Charles Lloyd and Steve Tibbetts: Inner Directed and Independent
by Doug Collette
Perhaps not surprisingly, independent thinkers are invariably self-motivated and both those virtues apply to saxophonist Charles Lloyd and guitarist Steve Tibbetts.

Six decades on, that perception has aged away. Lloyd's work ...
