James Moody, Toots Thielemans and Jim Hall are just some of the late jazz legends who have performed in San Diego under the auspices of the La Jolla Athenaeum’s jazz concert series since its inception in 1989.
But saxophonist and flutist Charles Lloyd — who will celebrate his 85th birthday two days late with a March 17 concert at San Diego’s Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall — has few equals when it comes to doing multiple Athenaeum performances, each with a different band featuring musicians four or even five decades younger than him.
