Charles Lloyd Bobo Stenson / France 03.14.2000

The 2000 duo live performance by Charles Lloyd (ts) and Bobo Stenson (p) is highly regarded as a serene performance that encapsulates the spirit of ECM-style modern jazz. This project came about during the period when Lloyd was re-evaluated by ECM in the 1990s, and it features an extremely minimalist and introspective improvisational space that differs from that of a quartet. Lloyd’s tenor saxophone, with its soft and long-breathed phrasing characteristic of this period, quietly brings to life strong vibrato and spiritual melodies. Meanwhile, Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson, using the transparent harmonies and wide spaces that symbolize the Nordic ECM sound, engages in a dialogue with Lloyd’s melodies, enveloping them in a truly refreshing experience.
