Charles Lloyd Quartet
[edit]The Charles Lloyd Quartet was an American jazz group, active from 1966-1968. Members included saxophonist [Lloyd], pianist [Jarrett], drummer [DeJohnette], as well as bassists [McBee] (1966-1967), and [McClure] (1967-1968).
While active, the quartet recorded eight albums for [Records] and achieved international success, not only appealing to jazz audiences in the United States, Europe, and in the USSR, but also to rock audiences at such venues as the [Auditorium] in San Francisco.[1]. Testaments to the group's crossover success are the public reception of its second release, [Flower], a live recording from the [Jazz Festival] in 1966, which made history as one of the first jazz recordings to sell over one million copies, and also its shared billing with rock acts such as Jimi Hendrix, JanisJoplin, Cream, the Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane.[2]. The group disbanded in 1968, when Lloyd began to experience medical problems and entered into meditative retirement in Malibu and Big Sur, California.[3]
