I attended the Charles Lloyd Trios:Ocean Concert at the Musical Instrument Museum. It is an incredible venue for Jazz concerts. They considered me with my Sony A7 IV a professional photographer. So they relegated me to my iPhone. I wasn't thinking fast enough and forget to shoot in Apple RAW.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Lloyd_(jazz_musician)
Charles Lloyd (born March 15, 1938)[1] is an American jazz musician. He primarily plays tenor saxophone and flute and occasionally other reed instruments,
Lloyd is given credit for anticipating world music by incorporating music from other cultures into his compositions, as early as the late 1950s. He describes his music as having "danced on many shores".[7] Peter Watrous stated, "Lloyd has come up with a strange and beautiful distillation of the American experience, part abandoned and wild, part immensely controlled and sophisticated."[8]
Since 2015, Lloyd has recorded ten albums for Blue Note, including 2024's The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow, which was selected by DownBeat critics as album of the year. Lloyd was also elected into the DownBeat Jazz Hall of Fame in 2024.[25]

"Charles Lloyd has long been a free spirit, master musician, and visionary. For more than six decades the legendary saxophonist and composer has loomed large over the music world, and at 84 years old he remains both at the height of his powers and as prolific as ever. Early on Lloyd saw how placing the improvised solo in interesting and original contexts could provoke greater freedom of expression and inspire creativity.
As a sound seeker, Lloyd’s restless creativity has perhaps found no greater manifestation than on his latest masterwork, an expansive project that encompasses three individual albums each presenting him in a different trio setting—a Trio of Trios. The first, Trios: Chapel, features Lloyd with guitarist Bill Frisell and bassist Thomas Morgan. The second, Trios: Ocean, with guitarist Anthony Wilson and pianist Gerald Clayton. The third, Trios: Sacred Thread, with guitarist Julian Lage and percussionist Zakir Hussain.
Lloyd once pointed out that his playing was a reflection of his life in real time. Perhaps this explains the emotional power of his playing, a soulful cry from the heart that argues for peace and beauty in a world becoming increasingly impatient with both. It’s why his saxophone tone, his signature in sound, is central to his art. “I’m trying to get a great sound, because when I think of all the great masters that went before, this kid in me still sees areas where I come up short and I continue to work on it,” he says. Unique and expressive, it’s what draws listeners into his music, shaping the emotive elements of his performances, from passionate intensity to sotto voce subtones, from which we construe meaning.
With good reason Lloyd’s playing has been described as lyrical, a style that is evocative of singing, expressing a subjective, personal point of view. Indeed, as a child he wanted to train as a singer, and today, when he plays a ballad, such as his recent recording of ‘Anthem’ by Leonard Cohen on Tone Poem, he has spoken of how knowing a song’s lyrics helps him add greater expressive weight to his playing. It is a reminder of music’s ancient connection with words and how melody frequently follows the meter and rhythm of speech patterns. Formalized a thousand years ago with the diatonicism of plainsong, music’s evolution through chromaticism to what has been called “the crisis in tonality” precipitated by Arnold Schoenberg, was mirrored in jazz in the space of just fifty years. So much has been accomplished in music that today, the search for the “always new” that propelled jazz through the twentieth century has given way to the realization to the once witty riposte by arch-modernist and surrealist Man Ray in the 1920s — “I can’t do something better than the old masters did, my only justification is to do something different.”
MIM began with a vision to create a musical instrument museum that would be truly global. Realizing most musical museums featured historic, primarily Western classical instruments, MIM’s founder Bob Ulrich (then CEO of Target Corporation) was inspired to develop a new kind of museum that would focus on the kind of instruments played every day by people worldwide. A focus on the guest experience shaped every aspect of the museum’s development. From the beginning, our goal has been to deliver a musical experience that is enriching, inspiring, interesting, and fun.
Today, MIM has a collection of more than 7,500 instruments from more than 200 world countries and territories. The galleries reflect the rich diversity and history of many world cultures. But music and instruments also show us what we have in common—a thought powerfully expressed in our motto, music is the language of the soul.
MIM’s immersive exhibits foster an appreciation of diverse cultures and the craftsmanship and traditions of instrument makers from the past to the present. A visit to MIM is also about experiencing the sensory nature of music and how it affects our emotions. Through state-of-the-art, interactive media, guests can see the instruments, hear their sounds, and observe them being played in their original contexts.

Open Heritage Week 2019 aims to open everyday life heritage places around the city – that often go disregarded and are under continuous threat of disappearance in exchange for creating real-estate values. In 2019, The European Union National Institutes for Culture, EUNIC (Alliance Française de Dhaka, British Council Bangladesh and Goethe-Institut Bangladesh) aims to bring government and non-government organisations together, with a view of creating a vision for a preserved and accessible cultural heritage. Advocating for an Open Heritage Week in Bangladesh follows the observation that many cultural heritage sites are already well-preserved and accessible with regard to national monuments. Nonetheless, there is much beyond these grand sites that normally is not open for public access. Therefore, EUNIC wanted to take the initiative to create awareness and re-imagine the city for the next generations of Bangladesh.
EUNIC Bangladesh and their partners are organising Open Heritage Week 2019 from 6 to 15 December 2019. The activities will include visiting heritage buildings, exhibitions, performances, open forum, workshops, lectures on architectural heritage at British Council, Alliance Française de Dhaka, Goethe-Institut Bangladesh, Institute of Architects Bangladesh, Beauty Boarding, Lalkuthi, Bulbul Academy of Fine Arts and Old Dhaka.
