Charles Lloyd Sky Quartet in Ljubljana

Synopsis

Living legend Charles Lloyd — who came up in the mythical 1950s generation of saxophonists like John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman, and who has performed alongside every jazz great of the last seven decades, from B.B. King and Don Cherry to Keith Jarrett and Brad Mehldau (not to mention the Beach Boys) — takes his universally acclaimed 2024 album The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow on tour for an unmissable set at the Jazz Festival Ljubljana. Selected as DownBeat's Album of the Year, Sky — a mix of "old and new material played by an all-star lineup," which here includes pianist and composer Jason Moran, bassist Larry Grenadier, and drummer Eric Harland — was released on Lloyd's 86th birthday. "Lloyd well knows he’s in the twilight of a great career," wrote The Guardian in a five-star review of the album, "but you’d never know it from the light and joy glowing through this music."
