Charles Lloyd: Voice in the Night
If you're familiar with those recordings, this "Forest flower" doesn't have the same epic qualities as the title track of Lloyd's Monterey festival recording of that name, but it is fresh and lively. As a guitarist, John Abercrombie has a more synthesized timbre and a more chordal approach than Gabor Szabo, who sometimes sounded as if he and Lloyd were so close as to mimic rather than complement each other's individuality. Their recordings with an unusually quiet Tony Williams were nearly monochromatic, as opposed to the varied and expressive sound of this likewise gifted but vastly more accomplished group.
