I have the same feeling. This one above together with the complementary In New York: At the Village Gate (Riverside) from the same year are my favourite (live) recordings of his band, which saw them moving boldly into modal jazz territory, away from a more traditional sound of their earlier dates, like the one in San Francisco ('59) or at the Lighthouse ('60). It was probably more due to the Zeitgeist than the change of personnel, i.e. the arrival of Yusef Lateef and Joe Zawinul, because this new lineup quickly returned to bop blowing the very next year, as the released material from their Japanese 1963 tour documents. The arrival of Charles Lloyd (replacing Lateef) in 1964 did not buck this trend either, thus 1962 proved pretty unique in the artist's (early) career.
I don't think I've heard Charles Lloyd with Cannonball. What title(s) would that be? I'm weak in the Capitol years.
This 1964 live date is quite representative to their live program and style that year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannonball_Adderley_Live! There is also a tackle on the music themes of the Fiddler on the Roof, but I have not heard that one.
I have that album. I ddn't know Lloyd was on it. Now I see hs name in the fine print. Wow, I'm speechless.
If anyone is interested SHM-CD Roy Haynes "Out Of The Afternoon" is on Amazon UK for £2.61 brand new and delivered. Highly recommended.

I read somewhere that all the members of the Charles Lloyd Quartet were still active . When was the Survivor Suite album produced?
1977 The Survivors' Suite - Wikipedia There are a lot of Charles Lloyd Quartets! If you mean as I surmise the one with Ketih Jarrett at the piano. . . well Keith is not too active these days, Jack DeJohnette a bit more so. . .Cecil McBee is not really active playing but is teaching still I believe. . . Ron McLure replaced McBee and he has still been working and recording. . . So I guess that the answer would be yes, the members are still "active" but in a reduced capacity compared to their prime years.
I picked up a couple of individual releases of the Coltrane Atlantic Mono box. They were just released recently and though I believe there may be a dightal step in the process the sound on it is quite wonderful. Unfortunately Ole was a terribly marked up pressing and when I went back to my local shop to exchange it all Four copies were bad. Giant steps on the other hand was perfect. I also received my copy of the art pepper quartet non RSD version from Amazon. Kevin Grey wove his magic mastering again I just wish I hadn't dropped it on my driveway butchering the cover.
A very interesting sounding album that is not so conventional but very well done, I like this one a lot!
Hands down my favorite release of the year and just an incredible album. Everything about it ticks all the right boxes. The arrangements are phenomenal with so many things hitting you at once-the drumming, the bass, the piano and of course charles' sax sounding as fluid as ever. a wall of dynamic free flowing sound that is individual but blends perfectly without ever becomming over the top or noise jazz. so spirited. i simply cannot believe how much I like this album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- an instant favorite that has me exploring all of lloyd's back catalog that i don't already own. what a slam dunk winner of a jazz record if there ever was one.
