More Details

Summary:

"Thirty-six years separate their ages, but their music is ageless. The collaboration between Americans Charles Lloyd (born in 1938) and Jason Moran (born in 1975) dates back to 2007, when they played together in the saxophonist's New Quartet. He's known to be loyal to his pianists, ever since his fruitful partnership with Keith Jarrett in the sixties. Let's just say that he rarely goes wrong. As a result, the lyricism of his playing contrasts perfectly with Jason Moran's ruggedness when he experiments in the margins. These contrasts are all the more glaring when they perform as a duo, like they did for the first time on the magnificent Hagar's Song (2013, ECM) or this evening onstage at the Norman festival Jazz under the Apple Trees. The first part of the concert is taken from the abovementioned album, followed by two covers-of Thelonious Monk and Silvio Rodriguez-that have long been part of the saxophonist's repertoire, and then ""Sand,"" which Lloyd and Moran composed for the Alonzo King LINES Ballet. The dialogue glides along at a high altitude, and it's evident that jazz isn't the only thing going on here. Charles Lloyd is also inhabited by intense spirituality, which he expresses by reciting-in the form of spoken word-an excerpt from the Bhagavad-Gita, the fundamental text of Hinduism. ""This is the state of enlightenment in Brahman / A man does not fall back from it / Into delusion / Even at the moment of death / He is alive in that enlightenment / Brahman and he are one."" This comes at the end of an epic twenty-minute suite that leaves us dumbfounded. Eric Delhaye".
