 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.

 Charles Lloyd/Eric Harland/Zakir Hussain : Features : One Final Note   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Higgins was Lloyd’s drummer of choice for most of his late-90s/early-00s recordings, making the passing of “Master Higgins” (as Lloyd lovingly referred to him) in 2001 an even harsher blow than it ordinarily might have been.
Fast-forward to November 2004 and Lloyd’s somewhat surprising one-night tribute to Higgins at Minneapolis’ Dakota Jazz Club and Restuarant, accompanied by young drummer Eric Harland and renowned tabla master Zakir Hussain—a combination that seemed rife with the possibility of furthering the loose, spiritual vibe of Lloyd and Higgins’ recorded duets.
Lloyd’s tone on tenor, particularly in this live setting, was impeccable—warm, rich, and almost buttery as it filled the room with his ecstatic, yet always melodic lines.

 CD Review of Charles Lloyd - Lift Every Voice on ECM @ jazzreview.com
Charles Lloyd has always imbued his music with depths of emotion that reach into the hearts of his listeners, even when neither the musician nor the audience can adequately express the effect that Lloyd’s music has upon them.
Lloyd is a master balladeer, and his performance on “Rabo de Nube,” unhurried though it is, evokes a prayer-like solemnity and uplift.
Fortunately, Charles Lloyd’s music is evolving, even as he remains consistent, as he has throughout his entire life, with the backup of a new group of musicians who intuitively understand Lloyd’s aesthetic and moral sensibilities as thoroughly as did the members of his earlier group.

 Charles Lloyd: Sangam
Lloyd is joined by master tabla player Zakir Hussain, and drummer/percussionist Eric Harland, who is a member of SF Jazz Collective and has worked with Lloyd since Higgins’ death, notably on the release Jumping the Creek.
Lloyd also allows his Coltrane influence to show, but this is not to his detriment, because he is able to show that he has absorbed the lessons of Coltrane and can apply them in his own manner, without self-consciousness.
Lloyd has risen, since his resurgence in the late 1980s and his subsequent string of stunning recordings for ECM, to become one of jazz music’s most refined elder statesmen, and the musician who has most been able to advance both the musical and spiritual agenda addressed by John Coltrane during his lifetime.

 Amazon.ca: Hyperion with Higgins: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
If Lloyd's spiritually charged tone remains his own throughout, there are occasions when the aura of Getz at his most Brazilian comes to mind, as in the opening "Dancing Waters", as well as that of Coltrane at his most ritualistic--especially evident in the rubato power of "Miss Jessye".
Lloyd has been compared to Coltrane and although I thoroughly disagree because he has his own voice, there are certain songs where elements of Trane come through.
I love this disc because it restored my belief that Charles Lloyd is one of the unsung giants of jazz who has endured decades and is still going strong to be one of the premier contemporary players.
