Product Details

Charles Lloyd has called the Lobero Theatre his home stage for decades, and the Santa Barbara venue has witnessed some of the most intimate and searching performances of his long career. Bringing Jason Moran and Marvin Sewell straight from that birthday celebration into the studio captures something rare: a band still warm from the bandstand, playing with the loose trust that only live communion builds.

Legendary saxophonist Charles Lloyd convened a new trio of musical explorers with Jason Moran on piano and Marvin Sewell on guitar for his 87th birthday concert at the Lobero Theater in Santa Barbara and immediately brought them into the studio to record his remarkable twelfth Blue Note album, Figure In Blue. The spacious double album travels wide expanses of musical terrain from beautiful ballads to raw Delta blues and includes stunning homages to both Duke Ellington and Zakir Hussain.
