This new recording adds lyra (a harp-like, three-stringed instrument from Greece) and cimbalom (sort of a Hungarian hammered dulcimer) to Lloyd's working quartet, and though the mood remains as reflective as ever, the exotic instruments supply a hint of greater urgency. It's as if having exhausted Coltrane's Ballads, Lloyd has moved on to A Love Supreme. He's still playing Coltrane, in other words, but nobody does it better by this point.
