Gheorghe Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Very very interesting to read. I think I was too young for the effective Charles Lloyd-hype of the 60´s. When I started to play, some older guys talked enthuastically about Charles Lloyd and I had not heard about him, since he was not so much mentioned in jazz books of that time. I think in one book or interview someone told about long lines at a club were he played and Coltrane played in another club of the same town and someone said to a Lloyd fan "why don´t you go to club so and so to hear the original?". And he was off the scene in the 70´s. One of the Lloyd fans gave me two albums from 1966/67 and I liked it, but it seems that after some hearing I didn´t get back to it so much as I would have in case of Trane , Rollins, Sanders , Wayne, Henderson, Rivers and so on..... Shortly after his great comeback I saw him live with the quartet with Michel Petrucciani. Sure it was great music, but there were others on the festival who moved me more, like let´s say Jackie McLean. I remember Lloyd was quite uncommunicative to the audience. He looked dead serious and I think even Miles smiled more often or waved his hand to the audience. But that´s non-musical observations that don´t count really......
