Trio of Trios

Charles Lloyd has long been a free spirit, master musician, and visionary. For more than 6 decades the legendary saxophonist and composer has loomed large over the music world, and at 84 years old he remains at the height of his powers and as prolific as ever. As a sound seeker, Lloyd’s restless creativity has perhaps found no greater manifestation than on his latest masterwork Trio of Trios, an expansive project that encompasses three albums, each a deft change of musical context that presents him in a different trio setting. The first album in the series, Trios: Chapel, features guitarist Bill Frisell and bassist Thomas Morgan. The second, Trios: Ocean, features guitarist Anthony Wilson and pianist Gerald Clayton. The third, Trios: Sacred Thread, features guitarist Julian Lage and percussionist Zakir Hussain.

The Trio of Trios 3LP vinyl box set includes all three albums and comes in a hardcover slipcase.
