Review
by David R. Adler
On Notes From Big Sur, Charles Lloyd retains pianist Bobo Stenson but opts for a new rhythm section in bassist Anders Jormin and drummer Ralph Peterson. The program begins with two elegant jazz ballads, "Requiem" and "Sister" (the former would reappear on 1999's Voice in the Night).
Lloyd turns toward abstraction on "Takur" and the two-part "Pilgrimage to the Mountain"; the second part, "Surrender," closes the album as a kind of benediction. The middle of the program is pretty meaty: "Sam Song," with its swinging tempo, does much to brighten the mood, as does the waltz "Monk in Paris" and the heavy, slow groove of "When Miss Jessye Sings" -- an homage, one can assume, to the opera singer Jessye Norman.
With an unapologetically assertive rhythm team and scintillating solo flights from Lloyd and Stenson, Notes From Big Sur successfully portrays the California coastline for which it is named -- picturesque and soothing, although rugged and at times forbidding.

Reseña
por David R. Adler
En Notes From Big Sur, Charles Lloyd mantiene al pianista Bobo Stenson pero opta por una nueva sección rítmica con el bajista Anders Jormin y el batería Ralph Peterson. El programa comienza con dos elegantes baladas de jazz, "Requiem" y "Sister" (la primera reaparecería en Voice in the Night de 1999).
Lloyd se vuelve hacia la abstracción en "Takur" y "Pilgrimage to the Mountain" en dos partes; la segunda parte, "Surrender", cierra el álbum como una especie de bendición. La parte central del programa es bastante carnosa: "Sam Song", con su tempo oscilante, contribuye a animar el ambiente, al igual que el vals "Monk in Paris" y el ritmo pesado y lento de "When Miss Jessye Sings", un homenaje, cabe suponer, a la cantante de ópera Jessye Norman.
Con un equipo rítmico sin complejos y los brillantes solos de Lloyd y Stenson, Notes From Big Sur retrata con éxito la costa californiana que le da nombre: pintoresca y relajante, aunque escarpada y a veces prohibitiva.
