Charles Lloyd, Sangam with Zakir Hussein and Eric Harland

Truly, this new trio – featuring Charles Lloyd on saxes and flute, Indian tabla master Zakir Hussain, and the young American drummer Eric Harland – is an absolute revelation. The title of their album “Sangam,” translates as “union” or “confluence” and is apt in describing not just the breath-taking interplay and common purpose among the three musicians in Charles Lloyd’s trio, but also the deep spiritual love that sweeps off the stage and into the audience, taking up everyone in the excitement of the moment: inclusive, playful, joyous."
