Charles Lloyd and Billy Higgins: Which Way Is East (2004) A–

1. Supreme Love Dance

2. Blues Tinge

Which Way Is East: Lithe sax/traps duets -- "Supreme Love Dance", "Civilization" (both alto), "Windy Mountain" (Lloyd's better-known tenor) -- share disc space with muckabouts in ethnic instrumentation. Higgins, not long before his death, sings strongly on "Blues Tinge" but is also affecting when chanting on "My Lord, my Lord".

To be listened to: The title track from 1999's Voice in the Night.
