DESCRIPTION 

Charles Lloyd's 2024 musical offering, The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow, is a majestic double album of new studio recordings from the legendary saxophonist which will be released on March 15, 2024, Lloyd's 86th birthday. One of the most significant musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries, Lloyd remains at the peak of his powers in the company of a newly assembled quartet of four distinctive voices with the NEA Jazz Master joined by pianist Jason Moran, bassist Larry Grenadier, and drummer Brian Blade.

With The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow—Lloyd's 11th Blue Note album and his first new studio recording since the 2017 sessions that yielded his acclaimed releases Vanished Gardens and Tone Poem—he continues his monumental music making, an apex in American art, as a bandleader, a composer, a flutist, and a saxophonist. The album also gives us first-time recordings of six new Lloyd compositions including the title track, "The Water Is Rising," "Late Bloom," "The Ghost of Lady Day," "Sky Valley, Spirit of the Forest," and "When the Sun Comes Up, Darkness Is Gone."
