Early on Lloyd saw how placing the improvised solo in interesting and original contexts could provoke greater freedom of expression and inspire creativity, and throughout his remarkable career he has searched for alternative ways to frame his improvisational skills. For more than 6 decades the legendary saxophonist and composer has loomed large over the music world, and at 84 years old he remains at the height of his powers and as prolific as ever. As a sound seeker, Lloyd’s restless creativity has perhaps found no greater manifestation than on his latest masterwork Trio of Trios, an expansive project that encompasses three albums, each a deft change of musical context that presents him in a different trio setting. The first album in the series, Trios: Chapel (June 2022), features guitarist Bill Frisell and bassist Thomas Morgan. The second, Trios: Ocean (September 2022), features guitarist Anthony Wilson and pianist Gerald Clayton. The third, Trios: Sacred Thread (November 2022), features guitarist Julian Lage and percussionist Zakir Hussain. Trios: Chapel was named after the group’s inaugural performance in December 2018 at Coates Chapel in San Antonio. Frisell had already cemented his relationship with Lloyd as a charter member of The Marvels when he was invited by Lloyd to join him in a special concert at Coates Chapel on the Southwest School of Arts campus in San Antonio. Lloyd was already familiar with the acoustic properties of the chapel and knew it would not support drums or percussion. He was also aware that Frisell had recorded in a duo context with Morgan, with whom he had developed a close musical rapport, and suggested they might all come together as a trio. The Coates concert left an indelible impression on Lloyd, who later said, “Our first performance has always had a magical place in my memory bank.” Trios: Ocean was recorded in the 150-year-old Lobero Theater in Lloyd’s hometown of Santa Barbara, California. It was live streamed without an audience on September 9, 2020, during the first year of the global pandemic. Lloyd was joined by Gerald Clayton on piano and Anthony Wilson on guitar, both sons of famous musician fathers – Gerald is the son of West Coast bass legend John Clayton, while Anthony is the son of celebrated bandleader, trumpeter, and composer Gerald Wilson, in whose big band Lloyd once played when he moved from Memphis to study at the University of Southern California when in his teens. Trios: Sacred Thread was recorded in September 2020 at The Paul Mahder Gallery in Healdsburg, California as a livestream concert for a virtual audience. Past experiences often illuminate the present in Lloyd’ music, for example, the provenance of The Sacred Thread – and the encounters that helped inform it – originated in the late fifties: “When I was studying at the University of Southern California, Ravi Shankar and Alla Rakha used to come around. That’s when I heard the call of Mother India,” he recalls. “Zakir and I played together in concert for the first time in 2001, and it was then I learned Alla Rakha was his father, so it has been like that… connections on a journey. You could call it Providence, I call it a Sacred Thread.” Artist Charles Lloyd Genre Jazz Label Blue Note Buying Options 3LP Box Set Format 3LP , Box Set Condition New Country UK Track Listings LP1 Blood Count Song My Lady Sings Ay Amor Beyond Darkness Dorotea's Studio LP2 The Lonely One Hagar and the Inuits Jaramillo Blues (For Virginia Jaramillo and Danny Johnson) Isa Wind LP3 Desolation Sound Guman Nachekita's Lament Saraswati Kuti Tales of Rumi The Blessing Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Charles Lloyd View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 15th March 2024 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Lloyd The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow £35.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 5816796 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 15th March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd Trios: Sacred Thread Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 25th November 2022 £24.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Charles Lloyd Trios: Sacred Thread £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 4533317 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th November 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd Trios: Ocean Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 23rd September 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Lloyd Trios: Ocean £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 4533315 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd Trios: Chapel Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 24th June 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Lloyd Trios: Chapel £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 4526650 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd Manhattan Stores Jazz | Resonance Records | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 17th July 2021 £37.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Lloyd Manhattan Stores £37.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Resonance Records SKU: HLP-9016B Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 17th July 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd 8: Kindred Spirits, Live From Lobero Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 2LP, Box Set, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes DVD Released 14th February 2020 £36.00 -
