They showed film of this (and other photos/films from Lloyd's history) on the walls of the concert hall tonight. Booker T played second half of show on B3 while Gerald Clayton sat out. Don Was sat in on acoustic base for a couple of numbers. And yes, they did play Green Onions. Clayton returned on piano and played Happy Birthday. The audience very quickly joined in.

Milestones Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Happy anniversary, Mr. Llloyd. I've been listening to your wonderful music for a long time. I recently acquired Passin' Thru and Acoustic Masters I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I need to pick up more of Charles Lloyd's music. I hope he had a happy birthday. I'll have to spin Which Way Is East soon. I think that it is a moving recording documenting a close friendship between two deep musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Saw him once in 1983 with that great quartet with Michel Petrucciani, Palle Danielsen I think and the young drummer Sunship. I also have the album they did for Electra Musician shortly after his comeback. But I think he had the most succes just before I became interested in jazz. When I started to study all that music and heard all the day long Miles, Mingus, Trane, Ornette and all of them, I didn´t really know about Charles Llyod but guys maybe 5 , 6 years older were from that flower power generation when Charles Llyod was something like a hero, best selling jazz artist or very near to it. I got to spin two of his albums from the 60s with quite straight ahead stuff, with the great group Keith, McBee, Jack DeJohnette. I liked them though I must say if I want to hear something from the 60´s I listen more to Trane, to Joe Henderson, Sam Rivers, Wayne Shorter .

Lloyd's best 1960s music: the stuff w/Cannonball & Chico, plus the 2 Columbia albums, plus Dream Weaver. There's some good stuff on the Atlantic albums but it's almost all at least a tier lower.
