Charles Lloyd is one of the most celebrated jazz artists in the world and was recently awarded a rare quadruple crown in DownBeat magazine’s critics’ poll–a feat only matched by John Coltrane.The 86-year-old master’s current Blue Note album, The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow stands as one of the most significant recordings of his career. With threads of gospel and blues, spiritual power, and pristine beauty, the album has received worldwide critical acclaim.
Beyond the jazz world, his ethereal sounds enthralled rock royalty from the Beach Boys to the Grateful Dead, from Hendrix to Joplin. From his deep connection to the blues of his native Memphis to his deified jazz stature, from his continuing collaborations with Indian tabla master Zakir Hussain, rock and country goddess Lucinda Williams, and jazz guitar giant Bill Frisell, to the power and beauty of his newest quartet recording, Charles Lloyd continues to be, in the words of Carlos Santana, “an international music treasure.”
This special quartet features pianist Gerald Clayton, bassist Reuben Rogers, and GRAMMY® Award-winning guitar icon Bill Frisell.
A 2022 biography of Frisell, Beautiful Dreamer: The Guitarist Who Changed the Sound of American Music, described him as “a quietly revolutionary guitar hero… [who] has synthesized many disparate musical elements–from jazz to pop, folk to film music, ambient to avant-garde, country to classical–into one compellingly singular sound….‘The favorite guitarist of many people who agree on little else in music.’”
