Charles Lloyd (b. March 15, 1938) is an African-American composer/musician, playing mostly tenor saxophone along with flute and tarogato. He started his career by playing together with Chico Hamilton and Cannonball Adderley. In the latter half of the 1960s, his own quartet with Keith Jarrett, Cecil McBee and Jack DeJohnette was one of the most popular jazz bands of the time. Their album Forest Flower is one of the best-selling jazz albums ever. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Charles+Lloyd"

A Memphis Music Hall of Fame inductee, and recipient of the prestigious Chevalier des Arts et Lettre from the French Minister of culture, Lloyd has a legendary history in the music world, and could certainly be in a position to slow down and rest on his laurels. But he keeps shifting to a higher, well calibrated gear., Latest Recordings News Performances
