The esteemed saxophonist and composer has signed with Blue Note Records and will release his first album for the iconic label in 30 years with the April 14 arrival of Wild Man Dance, a magnificent live recording of a remarkable long-form suite commissioned by the Jazztopad Festival in Wroclaw, Poland. Wild Man Dance marks Lloyd’s first Blue Note release since 1985’s A Night in Copenhagen, a live quartet set from the 1983 Copenhagen Jazz Festival, featuring aspiring pianist Michel Petrucciani who had urged Lloyd to come out of retirement from his Big Sur home. “I came down from my spiritual retreat in 1981 to help Michel get a foothold on the world stage, as the elders had done for me,” Lloyd says. “When things started to take off for him I returned to my solitude in Big Sur.” “It wasn’t until a near death experience in 1986 that I fully rededicated myself to this beautiful tradition from which I come,” Lloyd explains. In 1989, Lloyd began his inspired 16-album relationship with ECM Records. “When Don Was became head of Blue Note [in 2011], he came up to see us and invited me to record for the label.” Lloyd ultimately accepted the invitation, with a mission in mind: “I want to stretch my wings wider and find new thermals to soar on. It is all a continuation of my search and service in sound.” “Charles Lloyd has been inspiring, comforting, mesmerizing and stirring-up music fans for 50 years,” says Blue Note President Don Was. “Now in his mid-70’s, we find him at the peak of his artistic powers – still blazing new trails and pushing the threshold of modern music. It is a very great honor for all of us at Blue Note Records to be associated with such a Creative Titan.” The six-movement Wild Man Dance Suite was recorded in its premiere performance at the Jazztopad Festival and features pianist Gerald Clayton, bassist Joe Sanders, and drummer Gerald Cleaver, as well as Greek lyra virtuoso Sokratis Sinopoulos and Hungarian cimbalom maestro Miklós Lukács, who color and texture and rhythmically charge the music. Lloyd’s compositions are at turns elegant, graceful, turbulent, dynamic, meditative, pacific and emotive. The music evokes a sense of transcendence and mysterious journey from the opening “Flying Over the Odra Valley” that spotlights Lukács’s cosmic hammered delivery as well as the leader’s tenor saxophone brio, to the lyricism and dynamics of the epic “Wild Man Dance” finale where all the band members gracefully and gleefully converse. “I come from a tradition of wild yogis,” says the 76-year-old Lloyd, who sagely explains the undergirding of Wild Man Dance. “I’m a blues man on a spiritual journey. The blues come out of a quest for freedom. My spiritual path is the search for the liberation of the soul.” The jazz master still has many miles to traverse in his “call of the wild.” In the midst of celebrating his astounding new recording, Wild Man Dance, Lloyd continues to look to the horizon. “I am still searching to find the sound,” he says. “It is my path. I call myself a ‘sound seeker’…the deeper I dive into the ocean of sound, I find there is still deeper and further to go.” Artist Charles Lloyd Genre Jazz Label Blue Note Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Charles Lloyd View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 15th March 2024 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Lloyd The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow £35.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 5816796 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 15th March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd Trio Of Trios Jazz | Blue Note | 3LP, Box Set Released 18th November 2022 £79.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Lloyd Trio Of Trios £79.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 4554520 Formats: 3LP, Box Set Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd Trios: Sacred Thread Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 25th November 2022 £24.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Charles Lloyd Trios: Sacred Thread £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 4533317 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th November 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd Trios: Ocean Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 23rd September 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Lloyd Trios: Ocean £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 4533315 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd Trios: Chapel Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 24th June 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Lloyd Trios: Chapel £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 4526650 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd Manhattan Stores Jazz | Resonance Records | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 17th July 2021 £37.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Lloyd Manhattan Stores £37.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Resonance Records SKU: HLP-9016B Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 17th July 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd 8: Kindred Spirits, Live From Lobero Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 2LP, Box Set, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes DVD Released 14th February 2020 £36.00 -
