Charles Lloyd (born March 15, 1938 in Memphis, Tennessee) is an American jazz musician. Though he primarily plays tenor saxophone and flute, he has occasionally recorded on other reed instruments, including alto saxophone and the Hungarian tárogató.     Lloyd left Cannonball Adderley in 1965 to form his own quartet, an ensemble that included pianist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette and bassist Cecil McBee. Their first release together was a studio recording, Dream Weaver, followed by Forest Flower: Live at Monterey (1966). Forest Flower was one of the first jazz recordings to sell a million copies,[citation needed] becoming a crossover success with airplay on FM radio.   Lloyd's Quartet was the first jazz group to appear at the famed Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco,[citation needed] where they recorded Love-In (1967). The quartet fused improvisation, avant-garde jazz, and free jazz with the psychedelic rock of the 1960s. Lloyd was invited to play with pop and rock acts such as the Doors, the Byrds, Aashish and Pranesh Khan, and the Beach Boys. Miles Davis and other jazz figures were influenced. The Quartet also shared billing with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Cream, the Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane.
