Charles Lloyd suggestions

"The water is wide"

Rabo de Nube, his newest album, is exceptional. It's more accessable than some of his other albums and its a truly great recording. Very very smooth sounding.

Thanks all for the suggestions.

I stopped in at Amoeba LA the other day, and picked up "Water is Wide" and "Rabo de Nube", the only selections from your lists that they had on hand. What a schizophrenic listen.

"Water" is lovely. Understated versions of Duke, Billy S, Hoagie, et al. I feel that Abercrombie and Meldhau are as integral to the music as Lloyd on this project. Everyone is tasteful and the result is beautiful. "Rabo" is from another universe. Aggressive, percussive playing of creative, forward looking music. Almost hard to imagine it's the same guy. Each has its appeal, but I think that I'm more a "Water" guy at heart.

Thanks again.

Hi Martkl,
"I feel that Abercrombie and Meldhau are as integral to the music as Lloyd on this project."
That is the reason I put Lloyd in your thread 'Overshadowed by bandmates'

Got it.
