Passin' Thru (Live)

Nearing 80, West Coast jazz mystic Charles Lloyd is as renowned for his burnished, highly individual tenor sax sound as he is for the stellar groups he’s led since the ’60s. His New Quartet with pianist Jason Moran, bassist Reuben Rogers, and drummer Eric Harland marks 10 years as a unit with Passin’ Thru, featuring new versions of vintage Lloyd (“Dream Weaver,” “Passin’ Thru”) that groove and swing explosively yet remain spacious, exploratory, and free.
