The great Charles Lloyd

[Hardbopjazz]

Charles Lloyd played the Village Vanguard for the first time in 50 years on March 15, 2015. Both sets were great.

Charles Lloyd and Mickey Hart:

Just finishing Joe Woodward's new book about Charles.  

[Milestones]

So what is most revealing in the book?

[medjuck]

I always though Michel Petrucciani sought out Lloyd in Big Sur and talked him into performing again. Turns out they met by accident and it was more  that the then relatively unknown Petrucciani inspired Lloyd.   Also Lloyd never really stopped recording.

Charles Lloyd on PBS Newshour

[Peter Friedman]

Watched that Charles Lloyd segment  on the PBS new hour when it was broadcast 2 nights ago. Was quite surprised and pleased that they showed it. Though not a huge Charles Lloyd fan, I thought the segment was damn good.

Was only disappointed that the piano player was not identified. Anyone able to indicate who he was?

Jason Moran, isn't it?

[kh1958]

Yes, the pianist in the clip linked above is Jason  Moran.

In recent years, Charles Lloyd uses either Jason Moran or Gerald Clayton on piano, when his group includes a piano.

"...when I was a young man playing at the Antibes Festival in the South of France—I was there at the same time as Duke Ellington—Johnny Hodges and Harry Carney took me under their wings. They took me to the gravesite of the great Sidney Bechet and initiated me. That experience stays with me."
