About this concert
Charles Lloyd, is an NEA Jazz Master and recipient of the prestigious French honor, l’Ordre Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres. Voted DownBeat magazine’s ‘Jazzman of the Year’ in 1967, Lloyd was again voted the 2023 ‘Artist of the Year’ for his current body of work – the arc of his contribution to this artform starts in the early 1960s and the depth of his expression reflects a lifetime of experience. 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. Peter Watrous of The New York Times stated: “Mr. Lloyd has come up with a strange and beautiful distillation of the American experience, part abandoned and wild, part immensely controlled and sophisticated.” His concerts and recordings are events of pristine beauty and elegance, full of intensely felt emotion and passion that touches deep inside the heart. This is not entertainment, but the powerful uncorrupted expression of beauty through music. When music vibrates, the soul vibrates and touches the spirit within. Lloyd will be joined on this concert date by his Sky Quartet featuring pianist Jason Moran, bassist Larry Grenadier, and drummer Eric Harland.

“He's expansive in his musical discourse yet without a wasted note.” Wall Street Journal
“Jazz improvisation as complex and far-reaching as the Lloyd quartet had to offer can be a daunting listening experience. … The listener is taken on a journey through gravity-less improvisational space. To the credit of Lloyd and his players, that journey was illuminated by one musical enlightenment after another.” Los Angeles Times
"Lloyd is one of the greats, rather like Joan Miro in modern art, he has no peer save himself. Music of total transport and delight." Jazzwise
