Our Take

In a world where jazz can sometimes feel stuffy and pretentious, Charles Lloyd is a breath of fresh air. "The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow" sees the legendary saxophonist and his band delivering a masterclass in musicality and groove.

From the opening track "Dancing on the High Wire" to the closing notes of "Prayers for Peace," Lloyd takes the listener on a journey through smooth melodies and intricate rhythms. His saxophone playing is as smooth as silk, weaving in and out of the music with effortless precision.

The band provides a solid foundation for Lloyd to shine, with pianist Gerald Clayton and drummer Kendrick Scott adding layers of depth and texture to each track. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, and it's clear that they are truly in sync with each other.

Standout tracks include the funky "Friends," the hypnotic "Being," and the evocative "Blues for Langston and LaRue." Each song has its own unique flavour, but they all come together to create a cohesive and compelling listening experience.

Overall, "The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow" is a triumph for Charles Lloyd and his band. It's an album that proves that jazz can still be innovative and exciting in the 21st century. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let Charles Lloyd take you on a musical adventure. You won't be disappointed.
