Charles Lloyd Quartet,Geri Allen/NY,USA 2003 & more

This is the era when saxophonist/composer Charles Lloyd, a living legend alongside Rollins and Shorter, came closest to the world of Coltrane, who was greatly influenced by Geri Allen, who was said to be McCoy Tyner’s successor. , a total of 3 performances and a 3-disc set will be released at once, a solemn and beautiful spiritual high-quality live performance that will wash your soul! A 45-minute recording of the performance in Karlsruhe, Germany on July 10, 2003, with Geri Allen and Bob Hurst remaining as they were, but with Eric Harland on drums, and the performance at Joe’s Pub in New York, USA on November 18 of the same year. Completely recorded over 1 hour and 20 minutes, and also complete recording of over 1.5 hours of the Saalfelden Jazz Festival performance in Salzburg, Austria on August 29, 2004, when the bass changed from Bob to Lüpen Rogers. A 3-disc set has arrived that includes the highest quality audience and stereo sound (board) for all 3 performances that have been carefully mastered by the label! ! It is no exaggeration to say that during this period Lloyd was at the peak of his long career both physically and mentally, creating a one-of-a-kind sound with his unique saxophone tone and sense of time, as well as his one-of-a-kind flute playing. He maintains the spiritual playing he has cultivated since his debut in the 1960s, both technically and mentally, and delivers a divine performance that is not exaggerated but comparable to Coltrane in his later years. For example, it feels close to the world of Coltrane’s “Naima” and “Welcome.” The phrases are woven at the same volume and with the same amount of energy from start to finish, and while they sometimes swell and sometimes even rub, they are controlled and create a bold and lively flow of phrases. Anyway, what a deep and warm sound…Of course, the flute playing is also top notch! In addition, Allen and Jeri, who has also released Thelonious Monk collection, have a unique sense of time, innovative harmonies reminiscent of Bill Evans, speedy and thrilling play, and beautiful ballad play that is sure to knock out ECM fans. From classical and contemporary music to hard jazz and elements of ethnic music that he continues to research in earnest, you can fully enjoy Jeri’s brilliant piano playing that shows not only her technique but also the breadth of her amplitude! Don’t miss listening to the skillful rhythm team of Reuben Rogers and Eric Harland, who are still active with Lloyd. When it comes to Lloyd, people tend to focus on pianists such as Keith, Petrucciani, and Allen, but when you listen to Lloyd’s playing at these three performances, the main character is Lloyd, Keith because of Lloyd, and Petrucciani. Yes, I realize once again that it’s Allen… Disc 1 1. Sun Yen Sen 2. Requiem 3. Third Floor Richard 4. No Me Quitte Pas 5.
