Charles Lloyd (born March 15, 1938) is an American jazz musician. Though he primarily plays tenor saxophone and flute, he has also occasionally recorded on alto saxophone and more exotic reed instruments which include the Hungarian tárogató. Lloyd's saxophone playing is often characterized as an individualized, lighter-toned variant of John Coltrane's style. His best known composition is...

Prophet-like Charles Lloyd remains a beacon of musical and genteel spirituality in today's tasteless, commercialised, conformist world. How priviledged many of us were to experience his sage-like presence live during 2010.
I've been a Lloyd devotee ever since swooning to his album "Charles Lloyd Live In Europe", featuring - wait for it dear reader! - then youngsters Keith Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette and Cecil McBee. Needless to say, I just about wore out that vinyl in the same way I did "Kind Of Blue." If you only listen to one Lloyd track this week people, emerse yourself in "Tagore", from this eclectic album. Lloyd's exquisite flute playing here is quite eastern, remainding me of the Korean Taegum. (Note - there is still debate about the Romanised spelling used here.) Because of this playing and that of the astonishing Jeremy Steig, I studied flute for a few years. Oh yes, I adore Herbie Mann too!
A sensational recommendation to complete another wonderful week on the one and only ABC Jazz website. Thankyou.
I am currently listening to ABC Dig Jazz, the best discussion and interview on Jazz music in Melbourne I have heard for many a day, thanks to Charles Lloyd, Paul Grabowsky and guests. We old Jazz lovers have enjoyed many great Festivals in and around Melbourne for the last 50 years. I just hope the youth of today takes their IPods out of the ear plugs and gets to experience GOOD LIVE music and learns to appreciate what special artists we have in our great city. Thank you for the programs on ABC Jazz. :Lynne
