Trio of albums gives saxophonist Charles Lloyd the opportunity to search inward

Transcript¹

Charles Lloyd, now 84, has lived many lives. Over the decades, the saxophone virtuoso² has blurred³ the lines between jazz and popular music, playing with B.B. King, Cannonball Adderley, The Beach Boys and The Grateful Dead – and he's still flowing with music.

This year, Lloyd is releasing three different albums featuring three different trio ensembles⁴. The first album in the series, Chapel⁵, recorded with guitarist Bill Frisell and bassist Thomas Morgan comes out Friday. Ocean, featuring pianist Gerald Clayton and guitarist Anthony Wilson, comes out Aug 26. Sacred Thread, the final trio featuring guitarist Julian Lage and percussionist⁶ Zakir Hussain, comes out Oct 28.

Lloyd says creating and recording⁷ them gave him an opportunity to search inward.
