Charles Lloyd Quartet's "Jumping The Creek," released on April 4, 2005, under ECM Records, is a captivating journey through the realms of free jazz, jazz, and hard bop. Clocking in at just over an hour and eight minutes, this album is a testament to the quartet's mastery and innovation within these genres.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Ne Me Quitte Pas," setting the tone for the eclectic mix of tracks that follow. From the bright and uplifting "Ken Katta Ma Om (Bright Sun Upon You)" to the introspective "Canon Perdido," each piece showcases the quartet's versatility and depth. The standout suite, "Georgia Bright Suite," is a two-part exploration that begins with the mysterious "Pythagoras At Jeckyll Island" and culminates in the soulful "Sweet Georgia Bright."
Charles Lloyd's saxophone work is a highlight throughout, complemented by the virtuosic contributions of Jason Moran on piano, Reuben Rogers on bass, and Eric Harland on drums. The quartet's chemistry is palpable, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience.
"Jumping The Creek" is not just an album; it's a collection of musical narratives that span a wide range of emotions and styles. Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding exploration of the Charles Lloyd Quartet's artistic vision.
