[Pre Order] Charles Lloyd - Sangam & Friends - LP *

Release Date: July 24, 2026

Charles Lloyd honors his dear friend and longtime collaborator Zakir Hussain — long-unheard 2009 Mumbai sessions from the Sangam trio and friends, on Blue Note.

Sangam & Friends documents the deep musical camaraderie between the legendary saxophonist/flutist and the master tablaist, alongside their Sangam trio mate, drummer Eric Harland. The album is built around studio recordings made in Mumbai in 2009 for an album that was begun but never completed, featuring an expanded ensemble with Carnatic singer Vijay Prakash, Rakesh Chaurasia on bansuri, Sabir Khan on sarangi, Ranjit Barot on keyboard, and Niladri Kumar on sitar.
