By now, the Charles Lloyd Quartet concert at Wesleyan's Crowell Concert Hall this coming Friday night (1/28/11) should be sold out. The ensemble's new ECM CD, "Mirror", is a masterful blend of spirituals, jazz, popular song and world music.
However, there is an opportunity (and a rare one at that) to hear Mr. Lloyd in conversation with Adjunct Associate Professor of Music (and director of the Wesleyan Big Band) Jay Hoggard on Thursday at 4:15 p.m. in the CFA Hall (formerly the CFA Cinema.) The event, titled "A Conversation About Music and Spirituality", is free and open to the public. One hopes that the weather isn't so bad that the musician and composer Lloyd is waylaid.
