With Damien, I can recount the first time I heard his music: it was December 2004 and I went with my best friend to see Closer in the theater. About 1.5 seconds into the opening credits’ song “The Blower’s Daughter,” my friend – [...]

This past Saturday I finally got to see Charles Lloyd (with his New Quartet) live at Ann Arbor’s Michigan Theater. These last five years or so I’ve become quite taken with Lloyd, and he’s perhaps my favorite living jazz saxophonist after Dave Liebman. (At least according to my wallet and library.)
