Background

The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow is Charles Lloyd's fifty-first album. On the inspiration behind the title, Lloyd said: "So the sky is always, like, the closer I get to it, the Creator says, 'Not yet, Charles.'" [1]

The inspiration for the album's original compositions first came during COVID-19 lockdowns when Lloyd was walking around the garden of his manager and romantic partner Dorothy Darr; various melodies appeared in his head, so he went to a piano and wrote "Defiant, Tender Warrior" and "The Lonely One". The album was recorded with Brian Blade, Jason Moran, and Larry Grenadier [2] at Lloyd's home studio in Santa Barbara, [1] approximately "two or three days" before the four performed live at the Lobero Theatre on March 18, 2023. [2] Lloyd had chosen the other three to be the band for his next album in 2020, but scheduling issues delayed the recording until 2023. [3] [4]

The album was preceded by three singles: "Defiant, Tender Warrior", [5] "Monk's Dance", [6] and "Booker's Garden". [7]
