A barrier-breaking tenor sax legend.
“ . . . solemn and contemplative, then raucous and ecstatic.”
–– San Jose Mercury News
“ . . . the pure, streaming sound of Lloyd’s tenor saxophone, addressing Coltrane’s flurries, Coleman’s blues, Ayler’s anthems, Lester Young’s tender floating qualities.”
–– San Jose Mercury News
“. . . with John Coltrane’s intensity and Lester Young’s smoky lyricism, Mr. Lloyd is a thoroughly original voice.”
–– Wall Street Journal
