The Water Is Wide was my entry point to his ECM stuff, and it is stunning IMO, and album I keep coming back to, slightly introverted and atmospheric, but truly beautiful. An album I’d certainly use if I ever wanted to sell the JR149s as it just sounds astounding through them! Another fav is
Sangam, a very different thing being a live set with some amazing percussion (Indian tabla etc). An unusual fusion of Lloyd’s horn playing with ‘world’ music, but it really works and has amazing dynamics, momentum and life to it - the audience are clearly loving it!
