In 2016, Charles Lloyd & The Marvels made their recorded debut with I Long To See You, an album that found the iconic saxophonist in the company of a new band featuring guitarist Bill Frisell and pedal steel guitarist Greg Leisz, along with his longtime quartet members bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Eric Harland. The album also included two remarkable guest vocal appearances by Willie Nelson and Norah Jones. All together they created a sumptuous collection of 10 songs that ranged from traditional hymns to anti-war folk protests to re-envisioned Lloyd originals.
