Summary:

Sorely missed are the days when television documented moments that were destined to go down in history, like this concert by the Charles Lloyd Quartet, recorded for the RTBF broadcasting company. Because more than a half-century later, the saxophonist would be hailed a living legend on stages throughout the world. Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, Cecil McBee, Brad Mehldau and Larry Grenadier would play on his albums. It’s to him that we owe the initial triumphs of Keith Jarrett, who was invited to play on a couple of his most notable quartet recordings, Forest Flower (1966) and Dreamweaver (1966), both recorded the same year as this short concert for Belgian television. At that time, the young pianist hadn’t yet made any recordings as a leader, nor had he embarked on his collaboration with Miles Davis. Today, Charles Lloyd is still helping young colleagues launch their careers. Jason Moran and Gerald Clayton, Eric Harland and Gerald Cleaver, Reuben Rogers and Joe Sanders have all passed through the ranks of his various quartets, his favorite expressive vehicle. Through this format, the tenor saxophonist and flautist developed the art of eloquent, melodious ballades. These 30 minutes give evidence of that with East of the Sun, Love Song to a Baby, Of Course, Of Course, Manhattan Tripper and finally Island Blues, all his own compositions, except for the opening number.
