Charles Lloyd Completes Compelling Trio Series With Julian Lage and Zakir Hussain On ‘Trios: Sacred Thread’ (ALBUM REVIEW)
Saxophonist and composer Charles Lloyd can never be accused of resting on his laurels; the 84-year-old continues to be one of the most prolific and daring artists in jazz. He has long considered himself a ‘searcher of sound’ and his last of the three trio outings, Trios: Sacred Thread, certainly is a testament to that descriptor. In fact, this configuration of woodwind, guitar, and tabla may well be the first of its kind as Lloyd teams with Julian Lage and Zakir Hussain respectively.
