Charles Lloyd suggestions

You can't go wrong with "The Water Is Wide".

Regards,

Forest Flower - Charles Lloyd At Monterey, LP Atlantic SD 1473

I'll second Metralla's pick... I've owned several and I keep coming back to "The Water Is Wide" on CD. Terrific recording, moving performance.

For a vintage Lloyd pick- go with Dreamweaver. Positively hypnotic, with a very young Keith Jarrett on piano.
For modern-Day Lloyd - go with his latest, Rabo de Nube. Just tremendous and, I feel, more melodic overall than many of his other recent (still excellent) recordings.

I agree with Amandarae; that live version of "Forest Flower" is some of Charles Lloyd's best work ... superior to the studio date of the same title with Chico Hamilton (Impulse). Also, try "Fish Out Of Water", a nicely recorded ECM CD production performed with Scandinavian side men ... very mellow end-of-a-tough-day kind of stuff. Had the good fortune a few years back to see/hear him at one of his rare live shows.
