Charles Lloyd,John Abercrombie/CA,USA 1999

After the release of the masterpiece “Voice in the Night” from the ECM label, this was a real jazz performance performed with almost the same lineup of the album’s recording members: Lloyd, Abercrombie, Higgins, and Johnson! A beautiful live performance that lets you hear the essence of jazz is here! ! From the tour accompanying Charles Lloyd’s 1999 ECM album “Voices in the Night,” the album’s recording members John Abercrombie and Billy Higgins, as well as Bill Holland, replaced Bill.・Performed twice in one day at the famous jazz club “Yoshi’s” in Oakland, California on May 12, 1999 by a super quartet that included Mark Johnson, the famous bassist known for the Evans Last Trio. A 2-disc set has arrived that completely records the 2 shows, both of which have been carefully mastered by the label, with a total of 2 and a half hours of extremely high-quality stereo sound! ! When you think of Lloyd, the first thing that comes to mind is a collaboration in a band with a talented pianist as one of his hands, but here, the band performs without a piano, which is very unusual for Lloyd, and this is even more amazing ~ It feels good. Abercrombie, who has great respect for Jim Hall, plays just like Hall, and Higgins, a famous drummer whose delicate Afro-American style rhythm is comfortable, and Johnson, who is known as the best bassist by the master Evans, is chaotic from beginning to end. The beauty of Lloyd’s tenor is that each song is elegantly, sometimes dynamically, meditatively, peacefully, and emotionally rich, with the backing of masters who know everything about jazz… is sure to capture your heart. Everyone was able to relax and enjoy the performance to their heart’s content, being overwhelmed by the lyricism and dynamism that naturally emerged from the performance, and being able to feel the members’ elegant and good-humored conversations.This was the essence of real jazz. It is a very happy masterpiece that will make you feel happy! ! Live at Yoshi’s,Oakland,CA May.12.1999 EX-SBD 2019 Original Remaster 147min 2 Disc Including Band intro. The Blessing.
