Lloyd Mcneill
Washington Suite

Washington DC based flautist recorded ‘Washington Suite’ in 1970. His third album, it is a weighty set of Spiritual Jazz tunes. ‘Home Rule’ kicks the set off in typical thunderous and righteous style. The tempo and vibe chills for the lovely, flowing ‘Just 70% Moor’ and that beauty extends to the evocative ‘2504 Cliffbourne Pl’. ‘City Tryptic’ is a lengthy symphonic Jazz piece in three movements. ‘Washington Suite’ is an essential Spiritual Jazz set, if you love Strata East or Nimbus Records.
