The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow

by Charles Lloyd

The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow cover art

As a major late-career statement, 'The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow' functions as a spiritual offering of resilience, framed by the intuitive interplay of a premier quartet featuring Jason Moran, Larry Grenadier, and Brian Blade. The album's artistic thesis is a synthesis of Lloyd's lifework, juxtaposing serene new compositions and reflective spirituals against moments of impassioned free exploration to create a unified vision that is at once valedictory and vital.
