Charles Lloyd Quartet featuring Bill Frisell, Larry Grenadier & Kweku Sumbry

Charles Lloyd brings a quartet to Blue Note in Manhattan, with Bill Frisell, Larry Grenadier and Kweku Sumbry featured alongside him. The billing names the performance simply as the Charles Lloyd Quartet, rather than attaching it to a release, tribute, guest-led program or residency. It is the club’s later set, in a room built around close listening: the stage faces a small audience area, with chairs near the performers and the music kept as the focus. The listing gives no further program details, so the night is presented as a quartet performance by these four billed musicians.

The available material identifies Lloyd and the three featured musicians, but supplies no information about Lloyd’s origins, career, collaborators beyond this date, recordings, or critical reception. It likewise gives no individual background for Frisell, Grenadier or Sumbry, and offers no account of the quartet’s repertoire or musical approach. Blue Note is described as a dedicated listening room in Manhattan’s jazz district, where sound is allowed to fill the space and audiences generally remain focused on the performance. That setting places attention on the named quartet itself: four players sharing the later Blue Note set, with no added narrative supplied in the listing.
