Charles Lloyd, "The Call." With Billy Hart, Bobo Stenson, and Anders Jormin, this album is, for my money, at the top of Lloyd's recordings. You hear a lot about Lloyd's new group, which includes Jason Moran, but I've never heard him better than on this 1993 recording. It also has the virtue of being one of the most beautifully engineered albums in the ECM catalogue (or at least in that part of the catalogue that I own). Astonishing in every way.
