On the threshold of eighty Charles Lloyd continues to show the vibrancy and energy of a thirty year old. We just finished to appreciate the collaboration with Bill Frisell, Greg Leisz and others in The Marvels Project ( I Long to See You Blue Note 2016) that the historic label announces the publication of Passin 'Thru , third his New Quartet disk with Jason Moran on piano, Reuben Rogers on bass and Eric Harland on drums. The disc comes in the tenth year of training, which released two albums for ECM - Rabo de Nube in 2008 and Mirror in 2010-and has given several concerts recently. Passin 'Thru collects seven long pieces from the summer tour 2016: six are drawn from the performance of July 29 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and one ( "Dream Weaver") from Montreux concert on June 30. The photographer recording the quartet in the prime of his understanding, with a different repertoire than in previous albums although not all songs are new: the ecumenical logic of concerts, readings of past successes -like "Dream Weaver" and "Passin 'Thru "-you alternate with original themes and ballad. The executions were the medium-long with a peak of almost 18 minutes in the initial "Dream Weaver."

We listened to the disc preview and things that strike are many. First long solos fervent and vibrant Lloyd, animated by an intense groove and exalted by its magnetic postcoltraniano sound. The great form of the leader is supported by the teaching of the partners, which in 2007 were little more than first-timers and are now leading figures in contemporary jazz. Some new songs-especially "Part 5, Ruminations" -are inventive examples of contemporary jazz, where free improvisation takes over, in line with the Lloyd's artistic identity. The attention the formal balance and melody are in fact the central sections of his style, since he debuted with Chico Hamilton in California of the sixties. At other times (exemplary "Nu Blues") the rhythmic tension becomes palpable thanks to a gripping drumming Harland and collective power that flows from it.  More traditional but not at all self-celebrative are the performances of the historical parts. "Dream Weaver" is characterized by an ecstatic introduction of coltranian footprint than six minutes particularly compelling. More colorful is "Passin 'Thru," characterized by a tight rhythmic and frantic individual interventions. The conclusion is entrusted to dilated and meditative "Shiva Prayer."~ Angelo Leonardi https://www.allaboutjazz.com/passin-thru-charles-lloyd-new-quartet-review-by-angelo-leonardi.php
