Thanks T.38. Charles Lloyd is a great artist with a l-o-n-g history ( I remember sitting in a friend’s bedroom listening t his earliest recording in , what, 1968?).

However when posting here please take a look at the text format used by the majority in this and earlier month’s threads. It is essential to ensure that all can understand your enthusiasm by them knowing what you have posted but which they are unable to see. Here is a quote on the subject from a thread I posted yesterday:

Meyer played with Nik Bartsch Ronin and the album is a more tuneful, less angular version of same. Splendid recording and sounding drums and bass.

I had never heard of Charles Lloyd until his album with the Marvels and Lucinda Williams “Vanished Gardens”. Not being a Jazz fan at all I still found several tracks including “Defiant” and “Unsuffer Me” to be very good and even added them to one of my Roon favorite lists.

Shortly after the album was released in 2018 I saw he was playing in nearby Ann Arbor and purchased tickets. Boy were we disappointed. The first half of the set was he and the Marvels and that was barely coherent. We only hung around because Lucinda Willams did not appear until the second half of the set. Her voice is rather unique and it is a stretch to say it may have added some structure to the music.

We have gone to many concerts over the years and have only walked out of one (Diana Krall). This should have been the second. Funny thing, I still enjoy playing the album.

Thanks Jim. Interesting. However live music can be so variable with artists having “on” or “off” nights. For example I saw Diana Krall live in London at the Royal Festival Hall many years ago and both myself and my friend rated the live concert as better than her ( at that time) albums.

I 'll correct my memory of hearing Charles Lloyd " Forest Flower" - it was in 1967 not 68. So I was probably wearing a kaftan :smile:. Mind you I think I recall prefering the pianist in his quartet. One Keith Jarrett !

I saw lloyd in concert within the past 60 days. The set was mixed with the early portion being stretched and challenging and the later more hard bop like with a solid groove. Glad i saw it
