Overview
featuring Bill Frisell, Larry Grenadier & Kweku Sumbry
At 88, NEA Jazz Master Charles Lloyd has a lifetime of achievements to look back on — but looking back isn’t his style. He’s forever moving forward, earning his crown again and again as “one of America’s most influential, experimental and spiritual musicians” (Memphis Music Hall of Fame). Over his career, the sax/flute artist has played everything (free jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, world music, psychedelia) with everyone (B.B. King, Cannonball Adderley, Jimi Hendrix and Brian Wilson, just to name a few). Among his many accolades, he won DownBeat’s 2024 quadruple crown: Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Tenor Saxophonist of the Year and Hall of Fame. He’s joined by his quartet: Bill Frisell (guitar), Larry Grenadier (bass) and Kweku Sumbry (drums).
