This spring is shaping up to be a busy season for the tenor saxophonist Charles Lloyd, who at 76 may be approaching yet another peak in a long career. On April 14 he’ll break in a new relationship with Blue Note Records, by releasing a live album, “Wild Man Dance.” On April 18 he’ll present the North American premiere of the “Wild Man Dance Suite” in the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He’ll also perform the suite on April 23 and 24 at SFJazz in San Francisco, as part of a four-night residency there. And during that same week, he’ll be recognized as an NEA Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts, in a concert and ceremony on April 20 at Frederick P. Rose Hall, home to Jazz at Lincoln Center. http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/01/27/a-busy-spring-for-charles-lloyd/?_r=1
