Review

With this CD, saxophonist Charles Lloyd returned to prominence after lying low throughout the 1970s and much of the 1980s. His popular acclaim of the late 1960s and early 1970s, as a jazzman somehow appealing to the devotees of American pop psychedelia, was perhaps fortunately a distant memory as he rebuilt his musical persona around a quartet peopled with fine European players. Pianist Bobo Stenson would be the most prominent among those. Elements of the Coltrane sound are often present in Lloyd's yearning, mellifluous horn. At times, as in the moving "Dirge," the whole quartet harks to Coltrane's supreme band with McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones. Overall, the album is distinctly one for quiet listening in relaxed moments. Stenson, on the surface unobtrusive and unassuming, is a far cannier player than he first appears, and he well complements Lloyd who, as ever, quests for deliverance. --Peter Monaghan
