| | Plan 9 - Charles Lloyd/Billy Higgins : Which Way Is East (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | Saxophonist Charles Lloyd--a dedicated, soulful, oft-underrated disciple of John Coltrane's early-1960s, spiritually charged style--and drummer Billy Higgins recorded together on a number of occasions, but, sadly, this album proved to be the last. |
 | | On WHICH WAY IS EAST, Lloyd brings his usual assortment of reed instruments (along with piano and percussion), while Higgins performs on an array of instruments not typically associated with him--including guitar and guimbri--and even sings (in a gentle, folksy, Afro-Brazilian style) on a few tracks. |
 | | (Some of Lloyd's '70s recordings presaged aspects of New Age and world music.) This two-disc set is a momentous release, as it captures two remarkable musicians (and friends) at the top of their game, engaging in a series of varied and empathic duets. |
