“Charles Lloyd is an international treasure.”Carlos Santana “Follow the career of Charles Lloyd, and you see a map of great jazz across half a century. His shows, full of momentum and intuition, perfectly represent the idea that the best jazz needs to be experienced live.”The New York Times “Ageless wonder Charles Lloyd is as dynamic as ever. In the music world, there are success stories, and then there are legends.
Gerald William Clayton (born May 11, 1984) is a Dutch-born American jazz pianist and composer.
“The Gleaners” by Larry Grenadier feels like a peek into a private world as if you’re discovering the poems of a great writer who was known only for his essays. For much of the record Grenadier focuses on arco playing, showing great range: He can use the bow to create spritzed, lively rhythms or a luminous, slow immersion.
Kweku Sumbry is a multi-percussionist, sound healer, composer, and bandleader from Washington, D.C. He's grounded in the traditions of the Djembe Orchestra, and his journey began at age four, studying under his uncle and founder of Farafina Kan, Mahiri Fadjimba Keita. Today, Kweku proudly serves as the artistic director of the ensemble, continuing its rich legacy.
