JON LLOYD
Genres: Avant-Garde Jazz, Post-Fusion Contemporary, Third Stream • United Kingdom

Saxophonist Jon Lloyd arrived on the UK free jazz scene in the early 1990s and rose to prominence with highly regarded recordings on Leo records and the Swiss label HatHut, and with many UK and European concerts with his quartet comprising John Law, bassist Paul Rogers (or Tim Wells) and drummer Mark Sanders. Highlights during this period included Berlin's FMP Festival, UK jazz festivals, many Arts Council tours and the 1993 Contemporary Music Network tour of the UK with the Bill Frisell Band. Over the years Jon has embraced contemporary composition, abstract improv and American jazz and fusion, but in the last decade has primarily developed his music towards the European jazz aesthetic, notably recording "Vanishing Points" in 2013 with Asaf Sirkis, Tom Farmer, John Law and Rob Palmer. from www.weareubuntumusic.com
