Charles Lloyd Sky Quartet
Tuesday, november 18, 2025, Christuskirche
When you're the one everyone still wants to play with and learn from, no matter what level of brilliance they've long since reached themselves, then a dream line-up is simply a logical consequence. And the line-up for this Encore event is just that: a dream. Three outstanding protagonists of the middle jazz generation meet the now 87-year-old Charles Lloyd, who has released no fewer than ten new albums in recent years: with Bill Frisell, Zakir Hussain and Lucinda Williams. And none of them breathe the stale spirit of nostalgia. Lloyd, who has been moving between blues, avant-garde, hard bop and rock as a saxophonist, flautist and composer since the 1950s, has one of the richest vocabularies of any jazz musician. The magnificent current quartet offers him a foundation on which he can fuse the most sublime melody lines, the most subtle changes, the most spiritual experiences and the most complex emotions with his warm, old-masterly tone. The current album "The Sky Will Be There Tomorrow", released on Blue Note in 2024, is a happy message in dark times. And, almost needless to say, the "album of the year" according to DownBeat.
