Product Description
From Amazon.com
Tenor saxophonist and flutist Charles Lloyd's music has been a healing force in jazz ever since his historic Forest Flower recording of the mid-'60s with Jack DeJohnette and Keith Jarrett. As fate would have it, he was booked at New York's Blue Note club on September 11, 2001. Lloyd, for those who were lucky enough to see him that week, literally bathed the audience with his Coltranean sounds of love. This double-CD, with pianist Geri Allen, bassists Larry Grenadier and Marc Johnson, guitarist John Abercrombie, and drummer Billy Hart, beautifully captures the serene vibe of the Blue Note engagement. Lloyd's ethereal sax tones sing sweetly over a number of spirituals, such as "Amazing Grace," "Go Down Moses," and the title track, which was written by James Weldon Johnson and was known as "The Negro National Anthem." There's also a mournful rendition of Billy Strayhorn's "Blood Count" and a rejuvenating take on Marvin Gaye's soulful "What's Going On." On all of the selections Lloyd shows that jazz soothes, as well as grooves. --Eugene Holley Jr.
Chronique amazon.fr
Deux CD, deux séances d'enregistrement, deux groupes – le premier avec Geri Allen au piano, Larry Grenadier à la contrebasse et Billy Hart à la batterie ; John Abercrombie joue de la guitare et Marc Johnson de la basse dans le second –, mais un seul Charles Lloyd qui, le cœur grand ouvert nous offre des prières, des chants d'amour et d'espoir. Un large éclectisme musical règne ici, véritable florilège de spirituals ("Go Down Moses", "Amazing Grace"), standards ("Bloodcount" de Billy Strayhorn), classiques de la soul music ("What's Going On" de Marvin Gaye), musiques brésilienne et indienne ("Hymn To The Mother", un long raga de plus de quinze minutes ; la guitare d'Abercrombie y occupe la place du sitar). Le saxophoniste adapte même "Lift Every Voice and Sing" qui, écrit en 1900, n'est autre que l'hymne national noir. Plus serein que jamais, Lloyd, citoyen du monde, nous en dévoile magnifiquement les beautés. Le testament musical d'un sage. --Pierre de Chocqueuse

Deep Jazz,
By Anthony Braxton "Canada loves you" (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lift Every Voice (Audio CD)
What a run of absolutely sublime albums: "Voice in the Night," "The Water is Wide," "Hyperion with Higgins," and now, "Lift Every Voice." Lloyd is the deepest tenor player since Coltrane. Hell, he's among most profound living instrumentalists in any genre. Anouar Brahem's oud; Miles's trumpet; Trane's tenor; Maxim Vengerov's violin; Ravi Shankar's sitar; Rostropovich's cello; Toumani Diabate's kora. Lloyd's tenor is on this list. (Sorry, I realize that Miles and Trane aren't living--but I couldn't not include them). What Lloyd does with this mix of spirituals, pop tunes and originals is simultaneously to lift them up and to dig deeply into them (in much the same way Billie did with much more banal material). Its been said of Beethoven's late String Quartets that they're "beyond music." Surely, Lloyd's music takes us beyond our everyday realm to a place where all is joyous and serene.

Spiritual Elevation,
By "avantedit" (Malaysia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lift Every Voice (Audio CD)
This is a very special album indeed. Its a long wait as ECM records are somewhat a rarity at this part of the world. Charles Lloyd's Lift every voice isn't an average recording, in the league of his previous works ever sincere and ever soul moving. I couldn't agree that he is Coltrane in the 2nd being but Lloyd at 1st in his own right. The rendition of Amazing Grace to Marvin Gaye's Whats Going on has a sense of individuality yet recalls the familiarity of the numbers. I find this album edging towards experimentation with the addition of Marc Johnson and without Brad Mehldau. What I would love to hear is Tenor Sax: Charles Lloyd, Piano: Ahmad Jamal, Guitar: Pat Matheny, DB bass: Charlie Haden, Drums: Billy Higgins anyway just a wild thought...Lift every voice is a keeper on my collection and could be well renamed as Lift every soul. I am glad to have been elevated again. Mr Lloyd thank you for the music.

Uplifting Masterpiece,
This review is from: Lift Every Voice (Audio CD)
Charles Lloyd and his superb group will take you on a journey with this 2cd set.The essence of each song is found as each musician weaves in and out effortlessly--allowing the listener to hear the song as a whole or a statement.Lloyd selections are spirituals,pop hits, originals, and 2 Silvio Rodriquez songs.One of which is Te Amare which has a beautiful melody churned forward by the group as a whole-as close to an ecstatic state as music can take you.Of special interest on this album is John Abercrombie's guitar playing--it is masterful--everything he does builds,supports, and betters his leader. Lloyd is definitely on to something with this music recorded after Sept 11--it is music of peace--but it is something even more.It is a musician making music from heart and soul--it really just seems to come poring out--There is no Ego in this music--And that is what music should be.
