"The Water is Wide" is the first of two Charles Lloyd albums culled from an exceptionally productive session in Los Angeles. By turns tender, joyful, reflective, it brings together authoritative players who span the generations; each is a unique musician and distinctive stylist, yet all share a reverence for the depth of the jazz tradition. After the highly successful "Voice In The Night" album, the most-widely praised of all his ECM recordings, the great saxophonist from Memphis, Tennessee, follows up with an imaginatively programmed album that takes his music to the next level. Like "Voice In The Night", "The Water Is Wide" is again an all-American jazz album in the classic mode, but it brings together old masters and young lions. Three quarters of the "Voice" band (Lloyd, Abercrombie. Higgins) meets two-thirds of the skyrocketing Brad Mehldau trio (Mehldau, Grenadier). What emerges is timeless music imbued with youthful zest.
Reviews
M. Möhring in Jazzthetik 9/00: "Nach der letzten Veröffentlichung 'Voice In The Night' präsentiert Saxophonist Charles Lloyd nun auf 'The Water Is Wide' mit Brad Mehldau am Flügel sowie Bassist Larry Grenadier, als Ersatz für Dave Holland, eine personell leicht modifizierte Ausgabe des erfolgreichen Vorgängers. Addieren wir den alten Kern um Gitarrist John Abercrombie, Schlagzeuglegende Billy Higgins und Leader Lloyd hinzu, so ergibt sich ein Ensemble, dessen homogene Struktur für eine hörbar hohe Spielkultur steht. Dabei beherrscht der überragende Billy Higgins die Rolle des unsichtbaren Bindeglieds nahezu perfekt. Jederzeit sorgen seine fein gesetzten Akzente für den nötigen Fluss innerhalb des aus verschiedenen Generationen bestehenden Quintetts."Disk 1 von 1 (CD)
