Event
Charles Lloyd Quartet featuring Zakir Hussain at the Bellevue Jazz Festival
Charles Lloyd, legendary jazz saxophonist
and composer, was immersed in the rich
musical life of Memphis, Tennessee, where
he was born and exposed to jazz at an early
age. Throughout his career Lloyd has played
alongside and led several progressive postbop
groups with the likes of Chico Hamilton,
Cannonball Adderly, Herbie Hancock and many
more. In the late 1960s, Lloyd's quartet fused
straight-ahead post-bop, free jazz and world
music, catching the attention of both jazz
fans and critics. The group's commercial hit
Forest Flower, Live at Monterey also achieved
crossover success with rock fans. After a
period of semi-retirement and a near death
experience in 1986, Lloyd rededicated himself
to music. He has since reestablished an active
touring and recording schedule. 2002 brought together Lloyd's New Quartet with MacArthur
Fellow and pianist Jason Moran and drummer Eric Harland, who is also part of Lloyd's Sangam
trio with Indian tabla master Zakir Hussain.
Hussain is regarded in the field of percussion
and in the music world at large as an
international phenomenon and one of the
greatest musicians of our time. A classical tabla
virtuoso of the highest order, his consistently
brilliant and exciting performances have
established him as a national treasure in
his own country, India, and as one of India's
reigning cultural ambassadors.
Charles Lloyd performs alongside Jason Moran
and Eric Harland with a special appearance by
Zakir Hussain on Saturday, June 4, at 7:30 p.m.
