Lloyd, Hussain, Harland
Saw an amazing show last night at the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts. The legendary Charles Lloyd, Zakir Hussain and Erik Harland.
I really like the freedom the absence of harmonic instruments gives Lloyd in this configuration.
Plus - the rhythmic combination between Harland and Hussain is so huge - it would almost be a shame to cover it up with chords.
If you won't have a chance to see this show - the live CD "Sangam" captures it's essence wonderfully.
