    The results are as distinctive as they are rewarding.

    Give it time and the intensity of the music--the Hagar of the title is Lloyd's great-great grandmother, who was sold into slavery--comes through.

    Hagar's Song finds Lloyd and Moran at their most naturally curious and deeply attentive best, offering a conversation so intimate the listener may occasionally feel she is eavesdropping.

    Hagar’s Song is low on flash. And it rests with love against your ear.

    For the most part, the album is a testament to the sonic eloquence Lloyd discovered on his comeback via ECM at the end of the 80s.
