One of my heroes! Charles Lloyd moved music beyond playing standards and was an inspiration. One of the things I admired most was his subtlety of playing. He understood that you don't need to bash an audience with loud technical exercises, you play in the service of the music.

Listen to him drop the volume in his playing. He understood that when you whisper people listen harder. That's genius and even to today most players don't get this and just bash away and play louder.

I saw him a few years ago here in New Zealand. He's still got it and has surrounded himself with a band of great young players he has influenced. I hope he can keep going for many more years and give others the insights he has had. He has always moved forward while so many players have moved backwards (to playing standards etc.). The arts are a movement in time that doesn't stop to go hang out at some juncture in the past. That's tribute band territory. He definitely has roots in the past, but plays for today.

I was at the recording of Forest Flower at the Monterey Jazz Festival. It was a revelation. A unique and important voice.

I had no idea of potentially missing an opportunity to have met him. In the 1970s I was associated with Esalen Institute in Big Sur and supplying them with fruit trees and advice for their "home orchard". In return I got to hang out there. On one trip I got to play with a little French Fellow who was physically very handicapped, but a fabulous player. Esalen had a fine piano and although he couldn't reach the pedals he played magnificently. That was Michel Petrucciani and I was playing alto. He didn't speak much English and I had no French, so communication was mainly through music. Unbeknownst to me he was there to go hang out with Charles Lloyd who also lived in Big Sur at the time, but was kind of a hermit.

I'd also had some time there with a great flutist from that time Paul Horn. We didn't play together, but did some vocal stuff in the thermal baths that were 3/4 concrete with the fourth side open to the Pacific Ocean in a cliff face about 20 meters above the sea. The acoustics were pretty good for vocalization. He had already proven himself a master at using great acoustic spaces with his album inside the Taj Mahal. Interesting times!

One of my heroes. Saw him live a few years ago and have never been so emotionally moved by a player

🙂🙂 Was introduced to Michel Petrucciani's playing by a pianist friend of mine. He certainly lived his short life to the full. In his documentary he say's he had a great way to physically meet tall attractive women by telling them he was too short to get up the steps to the concert so asked them to carry him?? Worked every time he says...😉😉
