Charles Lloyd with James Francies, Larry Grenadier & Kweku Sumbry to perform Thursday, April 22, 2027, in the Longworth-Anderson Series at historic Memorial Hall!CHARLES LLOYD is an NEA Jazz Master and recipient of the prestigious French honor, l’Ordre Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres. He was voted DownBeat magazine’s Artist of the Year in 1967 and 2023, and in 2024 was honored with a rare DownBeat Critics Poll quadruple crown—Hall of Fame, Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Tenor Saxophonist of the Year—John Coltrane being the only other artist to receive such honor. 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. Lloyd has been enjoying a blinding flash of creativity over the past decade, maintaining an active performance and recording schedule with the New Quartet, Sangam, Maria Farantouri, the Marvels, and special projects around the world. At an age when many other musicians are beginning to wind down their activities, he's released a string of acclaimed and powerful albums that reveal an elder statesman with powers undiminished, and an all-encompassing vision born of the wisdom of experience.
