+1 I slightly preferred the group with Cecil McBee on bass (i believe this bassist is Ron McClure, no slouch but ...). Any band with Charles, Keith and Jack is gonna be smokin' but with Cecil McBee it was transcendent. I saw them at Shelly's Manne-Hole in L.A. (Hollywood?) in 1967 or so, went every night for a week. Will never forget it! Thanks for posting, never saw/heard this before!
Michael, you are so right! Also I am thrilled that in August of this year Charles was FINALLY inducted into Down Beat's Hall of Fame, at the age of 87 ! So long overdue ! Charles is still keeping it fresh...his current ensembles are breathtaking. I last caught his group at Monterey in 2018. One of my all-time favorites was Central Park in 1967; his classic quartet performed Forest Flower and it blew my brains out ! That very night my buddies and I headed to the Newport Jazz Fest ! What unbelievable times.
I always wanted Charles to pop out and do a set with Keith’s Standards Trio sometime over the years to highlight the old relationship with Keith and Jack... alas with Gary Peacock gone and Keith unable to play I suppose it will remain a dream.
Raiding my dad's record collection exposed me to Charles Lloyd Quartet. I dig this early incarnation as well as the later ones. Always interesting, moving, subtle, then ferocious.
Thank you fortna4! From my YT browsing, Europeans admired, and had the sense to preserve performances by cutting-edge American Jazz Artists in the '60s. It's rare to see such footage filmed in the USA.
Fun fact: they also performed in Estonia the same year. Estonia was occupied by soviet union. The soviets were so mad about the concert so they forbid festivals in Tallinn for many years. There was a saying among the soviets "Today you are playing jazz, tomorrow you will betray your homeland."
I love Charles Lloyd. I see Keith Jarrett on the piano and Jacque DeJohnette on the drum. Cecil McBee played base on Charles Lloyd's Forest Flower, a live recording at Monterey Jazz Festival but Cecil wasn't on this set, was he? Is the base player Scott Lafaro?
GeoCoppens I admire you for giving an honest opinion..He's a fine player but I agree I can do without the histrionics too!..His brother Chris performed at my local jazz club 3 years ago and an elderly friend of mine approached him to ask a question about the music..He was most rude to her and spoilt her entire night, a total prick!!!
In addition to being a very overrated jazzman, Lloyd is the other of totally stupid and laughable quotes such as this one: ''Women are as connected to music as women are to Africa. Women are all connected to the land and music is connected to the land. The drums come from Africa and have supernatural powers. Women and drums must be respected. I'm a shaman, I go out into nature, I talk to the trees and plants'' or ''I am a shaman, I go out into nature, I talk to the trees and plants'' ....LOL!
@@rinahall How does a lawyers opinion on music matter, even if you defend you seem more like an agitated prosecutor, should have studied music, if you slow a note down enough its oscilation becomes a rythm pattern, thats why drums are supernatural, its the rythm is the base of music and litteraly sound, it the first thing we can pick up and its closest to the hart. Everything is connected via vibrations, oscilations and therefore music. And about women, women are key in the world, bless them.👐 Bright moments!
Charles Lloyd - flute, saxophone
Keith Jarrett - piano
Ron McClure - bass
Jack DeJohnette - drums
Rec. October 22, 1967 at Lucerna Hall, Praha
This is one of my all time favorite groups. They never stopped being creative and interesting.
Ditto. Their show at Village Theater in NYC stood as the best show I had ever seen for something like 40 years.

Oh my heart!!! This makes my world better just heading and seeing this!!! Thank you for sharing this rare gem with us all!!! ♥️😘♥️
Thanks for this video. Excellent musicians playing with heart and intelligence. And in their youth. Musical history treasure.
Děkuji moc za tento kanál! Děkuji!
I love seeing early footage of Jack DeJohnette. Děkuji!
Many thanks for sharing. Lloyd's flute play always keeps pleasing voice. Gentle and mild from bottom to top.
Could be get a couple sandbags for Jack's hi-hat stand please? Thanks.
I always wanted Charles to pop out and do a set with Keith’s Standards Trio sometime over the years to highlight the old relationship with Keith and Jack... alas with Gary Peacock gone and Keith unable to play I suppose it will remain a dream.
They took the jazz world by storm. Brilliant band.
Priceless footage
I agree with you 100%, though I lament the fact that Keith Jarrett and Jack DeJohnette left Charles Lloyd for Miles.
I don't normally go for flute, but Charles Lloyd changes that. I really dig the Forest Flower and Love In albums.
You might also enjoy Roland Kirk’s flute playing.
Raiding my dad's record collection exposed me to Charles Lloyd Quartet. I dig this early incarnation as well as the later ones. Always interesting, moving, subtle, then ferocious.
You did, or, dig?
@@skineyemin4276 Dig. Thanks for the correction.
@@williamwinslow6582 I just wasn't sure.

The Czech people still have a great love of jazz in all its forms.
Gold, pure black and white gold!
Raw, intense, & frenetic performance! Technically brilliant playing! Cool quartet in mod threads!
Except, 25 minutes in, Jack decides the jacket isn’t working for him…..
This is terrific and priceless. Thanks for sharing it.
Dude was a profectionest for real
Super performance.. viva young lions ....
Gawd!! Thanks so much for this, fortna4! One of my all-time favorites! :)
Anybody have the titles of the songs?
Anyone know the song titles?
This group at its best, and Jesus it was good.
Historical recording with Keith Jarett and Jack de Johnette.
And! Ron Mclure bass!
and charles lloyd!
Breathtaking. So far ahead of even the more innovative rock music of the time.
Innovative rock music is a borderline oxymoron.
Let's just say it's different
I didn't know him untill now. Thanks
A very major influence on the grateful dead, so F***in' cool.
Muchas gracias por compartir esta joya de la historia del jazz!!!!! Excelente!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*IVO`s MAGIC WORLD* presents *MUSIC HISTORY GUIDE - FAMOUS BIRTHS* - *TRIBUTE To CHARLES LLOYD - 80th BIRTHDAY , TODAY!!!* (MaRch 15th, 2018
Fantastic cheers🍸🍸
still love your work!!
This is just wonderful...thank you!
🎶♥️🙏🏾👍🌹🎶
Tenor is splendit as well
Personnel. Or did I miss something? Thanks...
Keith is playing a Petrof grand piano - Petrof pianos made in Czechia in the '60s must have been manufactured at the nationalised factory.
spectacular

Fabulous Fluteplayer .
Qué felicidad...!!! hermoso, auténtico, fantástico!!!!
Oh so this is the group that Miles stole Kieth and Jack from.
No. Jarrett went solo in between, and Jack was in Bill Evans' trio with Eddie Gomez. Nice try, though.
@@steverickenbacher7110 😆
Any timestamps?
Masters at work
Does anyone have a track listing for this?
Climax of young Jarrett's solo is somewhere between 20:30 and 21:40.
Yeah, it looks like he's got a bee up his sleeve and he's trying to shake it off...
thanks!
Drummer Jack DeJohnette, pianist Keith Jarrett and bassist Ron McClure
Браво !
At about 2:30.. behind the pipe player… that’s a huge guitar!!
The elbow motions!
damn, fucking keith jarrettm. what a man!
SICK!!!..............and that's in a good way!
Oh God yes
Genial !!!
Is this available on a dvd?
Wow!
can somebody tell me whats the bassist name please
Ron McClure
I love Charles Lloyd. I see Keith Jarrett on the piano and Jacque DeJohnette on the drum. Cecil McBee played base on Charles Lloyd's Forest Flower, a live recording at Monterey Jazz Festival but Cecil wasn't on this set, was he? Is the base player Scott Lafaro?
LaFaro died in '61
It's Ron McClure.
Freakin Jam!
💿💿💿💿
Awesome!
Who's the bass player? Ron McLure?...
Ron McClure
Hell yes!
I'm getting seasick just looking at Lloyd playing tenor......
20:33 ⚡
At that time when bands travelling all over did rent tha bass player in situ... whose can hear doublebass?!
Why did they share towels……
That's jazz baby
Piano is not a stringinstrument.
It's true, you can remove all of a piano's strings, and it still sounds the same as with the strings.
O god, it's that terrible Keith Jarrett and his histrionics! Brrr!
おおおおおおおい、ジオ、お前のようなやつは一体なんで音楽を聴いているのかい。バカみたい
@@jazztemple2 Huh???
GeoCoppens shut the fuck up
Surprisingly, or not, when you don't see him, all you hear is a perfectly executed solo. Characteristically visceral, yet intentional.

I admire you for giving an honest opinion..He's a fine player but I agree I can do without the histrionics too!..His brother Chris performed at my local jazz club 3 years ago and an elderly friend of mine approached him to ask a question about the music..He was most rude to her and spoilt her entire night, a total prick!!!
