Charles Lloyd suggestions

This name came up in another thread. I'm unfamiliar with him, but he sure seems to have some fans out the in A'gon land. Looking for the best cd/lp to start out with. Suggestions?

I stopped in at Amoeba LA the other day, and picked up "Water is Wide" and "Rabo de Nube", the only selections from your lists that they had on hand. What a schizophrenic listen. "Water" is lovely. Understated versions of Duke, Billy S, Hoagie, et al. I feel that Abercrombie and Meldhau are as integral to the music as Lloyd on this project. Everyone is tasteful and the result is beautiful. "Rabo" is from another universe. Aggressive, percussive playing of creative, forward looking music. Almost hard to imagine it's the same guy. Each has its appeal, but I think that I'm more a "Water" guy at heart. Thanks again. Marty
