Follow the career of Charles Lloyd, and you see a map of great jazz across half a century.
—New York Times

Charles Lloyd has long been a free spirit, master musician, and visionary. For more than six decades, the legendary saxophonist and composer has loomed large over the music world, and at 86 years old he remains at the height of his powers and as prolific as ever.
His 1966 album Forest Flower: Live at Monterey, recorded at the Monterey Jazz Festival, became one of the first jazz records to sell a million copies. He also headlined other rock palaces, sharing billings with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Cream, the Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane. In 1967, Downbeat voted him Jazz Artist of the Year.
In 2023 and 2024, Lloyd, now an NEA Jazz Master and recipient of the prestigious l’Ordre Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres honor, was again voted Downbeat’s Jazz Artist of the Year, as well as Tenor Saxophonist of the Year.
In Ocean Trio, Lloyd is joined by celebrated pianist Gerald Clayton and guitarist Anthony Wilson.
