Our Take

LLOYD MCNEILL Soul Jazz Records Presents Lloyd Mcneill: Elegia

In the vast landscape of jazz music, there are the tried and true classics, the wild avant-garde experiments, and then there's Lloyd Mcneill. A man who seems to effortlessly blend elements of soul, jazz, and the avant-garde into a musical cocktail that is both soothing and thought-provoking.

On "Elegia", Mcneill takes us on a journey through his musical psyche, with each track serving as a window into his creative genius. From the smooth saxophone melodies on "Samba in Perlove" to the frenetic energy of "Two Thirds Pleasure", Mcneill showcases his range and talent as a musician.

But what truly sets Mcneill apart is his ability to infuse his music with a sense of whimsy and playfulness. Tracks like "Just 71% Moor" and "Effervescence" are a joy to listen to, as Mcneill weaves together intricate melodies and rhythms in a way that is truly unique.

Overall, "Elegia" is a testament to Mcneill's talent and creativity as a musician. It's an album that is equal parts fun, quirky, and addictive, making it a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. Trust us, you won't regret diving into the magical world of Lloyd Mcneill.

About the artist

Lloyd McNeill

Lloyd McNeill, the enigmatic jazz flautist and visual artist hailing from Washington D.C., is a true force to be reckoned with in the realm of experimental music. With a career spanning over five decades, McNeill has carved out a niche for himself as a boundary-pushing musician who refuses to be confined to any one genre or style. Known for his innovative approach to the flute, McNeill's music is a mesmerising blend of jazz, classical, and world influences that defy easy categorisation. His compositions are at once intricate and free-flowing, effortlessly weaving together complex rhythms and harmonies to create a sonic tapestry that is both hypnotic and exhilarating. But McNeill's talents don't stop at music. As a visual artist, he has created a unique visual language that complements his musical output, using bold colours and abstract shapes to evoke a sense of movement and emotion. His album covers are works of art in their own right, serving as a visual representation of the sonic landscapes he explores in his music. With a discography that includes classics like "Asha" and "Tanner Suite," McNeill continues to push the boundaries of jazz and experimental music, proving that age is just a number when it comes to creativity and innovation. Keep an eye out for this living legend, as his influence on the music world shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. Lloyd McNeill is a true original, a trailblazer in every sense of the word.
