Inspired by the life and music of Charles Lloyd, Gifts Trio reflects on the wisdom, vision, and positivity of the composer and saxophonist in an innovative way, especially exploring Lloyd’s fascination with the music of Billy Strayhorn. The sound of the trio focuses on the song form, emphasizing textual and timbral enrichment in service of each song.
