Besides Lloyd and Higgins, the album features John Abercombie (electric guitar), Brad Mehldau (piano) and Larry Grenadier (double-bass). All eight compositions, including the five-part \"Darkness on the Delta\", in which Abercrombie offers solo tribute to country blues master Robert Johnson--are by the saxophonist. They reveal his trademark ability to move convincingly between passages of intense ad libitum reflection and triplet-based swing, and the concluding \"The Caravan Moves On\" is the clearest example of the Near-Eastern inclinations which often surface in his work. If Lloyd's spiritually charged tone remains his own throughout, there are occasions when the aura of Getz at his most Brazilian comes to mind, as in the opening \"Dancing Waters\", as well as that of Coltrane at his most ritualistic--especially evident in the rubato power of \"Miss Jessye\". Throughout, Higgins is excellent, whether supplying the most feathery of cymbal touches or variously textured and stomping drive. Abercrombie, Mehldau and Grenadier all have their moments, but the album is chiefly notable for the compositions of Lloyd and the multi-dimensional work of its late and lamented drummer, one of the finest musicians in all of jazz. --Michael Tucker\n\nProduct Description\n\nLLOYD,CHARLES\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 044001400025\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0044001400025\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45971686064162,"sku":"RJ-5GDM-C6RX","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/81TcI4HkYZL.jpg?v=1783707800","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/fr\/products\/hyperion-with-higgins","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
