The first studio date of the Charles Lloyd
Quartet, with Keith Jarrett, Cecil McBee, and Jack
DeJohnette, was recorded and released just a few
days before the band took both the European and
American festival circuits by storm. First came
Europe, which was just getting the disc as the
band was tearing up its stages. While the live
dates are now the stuff of legend, it's easy to
overlook the recordings, but to do so would be a
mistake. 'Dream Weaver' is a fully realized
project by a band -- a real band -- in which each
member has a unique part of the whole to
contribute. Jarrett's unusual piano style fits
musically with Lloyd's lyricism in a way that it
shouldn't. Jarrett was even then an iconoclast,
playing harmonic figures from the inside out and
relying on counterpoint to create new spaces, not
fill them in. (Just listen to 'Autumn Sequence',
where his solos and his backing harmonics are
equally strident and inventive as Lloyd's Eastern
explorations of mood and mode.) And then there's
the rhythm section of McBee and DeJohnette, whose
modal inventions on the intervals make the 'Dream
Weaver' suite an exercise in open time, allowing
all players to wander around inside it and take
what they want out. The set closes with a group
party jam on 'Sombrero Sam', with Lloyd and
Jarrett trading eights on a Cuban variation on a
fantasia. There were no records like this one by
new groups in 1966.
