Jazz at its most pure and best... “Follow the career of Charles Lloyd and you see a map of great jazz across half a century. His New Quartet with pianist Jason Moran, bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Eric Harland is full of momentum and intuition, perfectly representing the idea that the best jazz needs to be experienced live.” –Ben Ratliff, The New York Times
“Lloyd is one of the greats, he has no peer save himself. Music of total transport and delight." –Jazzwise
“The rediscovery of Charles Lloyd is one of the best things to happen to jazz in more than a decade. He is humble and peaceful, yet he experiments without fear. Once again successful and appreciated by the jazz world, he outshines some of the most noted players on today’s scene. His music is a balm to ears grown weary of jazz that is derivative, exclusionary or a passing fad.” –Seattle Post Intelligencer
“Charles is playing really beautiful.” –Ornette Coleman
“Charles Lloyd is one of the greatest saxophonists on the planet, never afraid of experiment, but never out of touch with his audience.” –BBC Radio 3
The knowledge, experience, and wisdom conveyed through Lloyd’s tender saxophone soliloquies have drawn great musicians to him over the decades, and contributed to a reputation as one of the most insightful band leaders in all of jazz. Those qualities are reflected a hundred fold in his New Quartet.

 THE JAZZ BAKERY “MOVABLE FEAST”
QUINCY JONES PRESENTING THE ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ TRIO
THURSDAY, SEPT. 30th ONE SHOW 8:30 PM
MUSICIANS INSTITUTE CONCERT HALL
1655 N. MCCADDEN PLACE,
HOLLYWOOD, CA 90028
•Look for "Sounds of Space", Alfrado Rodriguez's debut recording on Quincy's Qwest label.
Press Excerpts:
“Young Cuban pianist Alfredo Rodriguez sounds the way Monk might have sounded if he had been born in Chick Corea’s body and raised on a diet of Bach, Chopin and Stravinsky in a Havana conservatory.”
“It’s hard to think of a jazz pianist since Art Tatum so capable of reaching across the complete range of the instrument’s expressive potential. In one tune, his crisp bebop lines recall Bill Evans. Other pieces suggest the melodic inventiveness of Keith Jarrett.” (Don Heckman)
“Alfredo Rodriguez is fond of saying that music has been his life since he was very young. The thing is, he’s still very young. But the story of this 24-year-old pianist’s daring defection from Cuba, his uncanny virtuosity-(enough to pique the interest of Quincy Jones) and his all-hands-on-deck enthusiasm at the keyboard indicate that music will be his fiber for as long as his fingers can find their way to the ivory. Rodriguez says, Quincy has become his mentor, teacher and 'like a new father' to him”.
Quincy Says: “It makes me happy to lend my support to Ruth Price for this evening's Movable Feast and to help her keep the Jazz Bakery alive until they settle in their new permanent digs.” |
