Description
Charles Lloyd: A Wild, Blatant Truth A candid and unflinching biography of saxophonist and composer Charles Lloyd, covering his remarkable life in the jazz world since the late 1950s. Based on twenty years' worth of interviews, this book offers a unique insight into an uncommonly eventful life. Born in Memphis in the Forties and Fifties, Lloyd began playing with blues giants such as Howlin' Wolf before moving to Los Angeles to attend college and work with prominent jazz musicians. His career took him from New York's jazz scene to forming his own landmark quartet, featuring young talents like Keith Jarrett. This biography chronicles Lloyd's rise to fame in the 1960s, followed by a fifteen-year spiritual quest that saw him disappear from the jazz world. The book also touches on his occasional collaborations with pop musicians during this period, offering a fascinating glimpse into an extraordinary life.
