About

In March 2025, the legendary saxophonist Charles Lloyd convened a new trio of musical explorers with Jason Moran on piano and Marvin Sewell on guitar for his 87th birthday concert at the Lobero Theater in Santa Barbara and immediately brought them into the studio to record his remarkable twelfth Blue Note album, Figure In Blue. The spacious double album travels wide expanses of musical terrain from beautiful ballads to raw Delta blues and includes stunning homages to both Duke Ellington and Zakir Hussain.

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

November 2025

If 13 tracks spread over a double album were ever deserving of a Grammy, then here they are. In live performance, the spiritual feel of Lloyd's playing is so strong, you can almost reach out and touch it. Wisdom of the ages conveyed in music, his message is peace and a love of humanity.
