"... the band is fabulous in its understatement ... while the standards are impressive, Lloyd’s originals are at least as organic and more experimental. Contemplative and melodic, Mirror finds Lloyd equally authoritative and open, nothing musical left to prove. His bandmates, far younger than the saxophonist, match him in musical wisdom." - JazzTimes.com "Five Stars ... there's the sense here of creating a kind of healing music in a time of need. As a whole the tunes themselves are pared back, the tempos cooled and little surprises hidden within the gems of familiar melodies. From one perspective, the album is a self-portrait of Lloyd and his music. From the other, it's a step forward from a great working band that continues to evolve. Regardless, it's a lovely collection of music." - All About Jazz Saxophonist Charles Lloyd leads an exceptional quartet featuring pianist Jason Moran, double bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Eric Harland on originals and familiar material that is reappraised and transformed. There are also a couple of superb Thelonious Monk covers and a beautiful, free arrangement of the Beach Boys’ Caroline, No. The songs are packed with Lloyd’s graceful, mellifluous and poetic tenor sax as well as his rarely-showcased alto saxophone, floating above the fluid interaction between piano, bass and drums.
