Charles Lloyd Quartet was an American jazz ensemble led by saxophonist and flutist Charles Lloyd (born in Memphis, Tennessee, on 15 March 1938). Lloyd left Cannonball Adderley in 1965. In 1966, he formed his "classic" quartet In New York with drummer Jack DeJohnette, pianist Keith Jarrett and bassist Cecil McBee (continued on by Ron McClure). Their first release together was a studio recording, Dream Weaver. The Quartet's 1966 live album, Forest Flower, recorded at the Monterey Jazz Festival, was one of the most successful jazz recordings of the mid-1960s, building a heterogeneous audience of rock as well as jazz fans in the prospering hippie counterculture.
