This is when jazz reached its full maturity. When groups like this understood playing inside and outside almost simultaneously. Playing free without abusing it. Back then it was in the air for those players that understood how to grasp it . The rock counterpart to this jazz groupthink was Cream. This is one of the great groups and performances of the era. Charles was accused of being a Coltrane clone, but his composing and band leadership, especially here, proved he was much more than that. Furthermore, he never tried to use the heavy hammer aspect of the Coltrane influence. Fun, but not trivial, free, spirited and full of exciting musical surprises. I never tire of this piece.

@jazz4asahel 3 года назад

Remembering back, I had heard that Downbeat Magazine had published things unfavorable about Lloyd. I guess that's why some writers are called critics.

@michaelcorenzwit6860 2 года назад

Those that can, do it and create musical art. Those that can’t, criticize. To me, this is one of the greatest pieces ever recorded. Coltrane was inspiring and inspired just like Lloyd is. Btw, I was a professional guitarist with a deep love of good music and have followed Charles ever since I first saw him in a quintet led by Cannonball Adderly and was captivated by the wonderful tone poems he produced. Imo Coltrane and Lloyd were both all time greats in their own unique ways. I look forward to to listening to Lloyd’s latest album with trios. I also wish Kieth a quick recovery and am looking forward to his newest musical journey. Kieth and Charles are great composers and I hope that Jarrett pursues more composition. Btw, Lloyd is 84 and still going strong along his lifetime journeys, both musical and spiritual.

The fact that it's a live recording done outdoors blows me away. And the fact that it was recorded in 1966 is even more amazing. I've heard studio recordings recorded 60 years later that don't sound as good. And I won't even get started on the quality of the music and performance vs. today's music. A phenomenal piece of music and musical history.

What a fantastic quartet! I was 16 when I first heard this album and was blown away by it. I was into rock as all kids were back then, but because my dad exposed me to the big bands, (he was a saxophonist), I was able to appreciate jazz, although I didn't understand it at all. Now at 7, I'm still working on jazz guitar and humbly trying to immolate my jazz hero's. This group is one of the greats I still go back to time after time.

@jennifer86010 4 года назад

1:15 through 3:41 Keith Jarrett plays the most outrageously complicated, involved chops-y technical piano solo imaginable. At that age he was bursting with energy and technique and had to show it off constantly, but wow !! I've listened to this for over half a century and it still blows me away every time I hear it. True art and genius never gets old. Phenomenal !!

@fredphoesh 2 года назад

yep, staggering pianist sadly unable to play now due to 2 strokes...

@jennifer86010 2 года назад

@@fredphoesh Yes, 'very sad to hear about Keith's debilitation. I believe the strokes happened in 2018 or so. He mentioned that it was his left hand that was handicapped in particular. I'm not sure if he has received any rehabilitation or therapy. Many stroke victims can improve with some medical care. He did muster his energy after he suffered from his past chronic fatigue syndrome, or what ever it was called. He was unable to play or do much of anything at that time in his life, but he managed to gather enough strength to record "My Wild Irish Rose" on a little cassette in his New Jersey barn-studio as a gift for his then wife "Roseanne" as a Christmas present. As a regular listener at Yoshi's Jazz Club in Oakland, circa late '90s - early 2000, I went to hear the Oscar Peterson trio play after he also had a couple of strokes. He didn't have the chops or ability he had pre-stroke, but the audience didn't care. We all hung on his every note and his courageous determination, that despite his handicap, he was forging ahead and playing to the best of his ability. At the end of his performance, with tears in our eyes, we gave him a standing ovation of applause, whistles, and cheers that lasted for ten minutes....longer than any ovation in the history of this legendary Jazz club. I was fortunate to meet Oscar after the performance, and I brought along my very first jazz L.P. recording "The Trio" featuring Oscar, Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums. Oscar graciously signed it in his huge, beautiful perfect script handwriting, and we took some photos. I thanked him for all the piano lessons he gave me over the decades, and particularly for the inspiration he instilled in me every time I listened to this great recording....a recording, which by the 1990's, had more scratches in it than recorded audio. I subsequently purchased the C.D. of the same recording. I also had the opportunity to meet and talk with Keith many times over the years. Yes, he was moody, at times aloof and unapproachable, and at other times very nice and thoughtful. His reputation of scolding audiences and admonishing them for being late or even being human was as part of his eccentricities as was his moaning, and caterwauling while he played. For many, Keith's "vocalizing" was an irritating distraction, but for many of us piano players, it never took away from our ability to hear each note he was playing. Many considered Keith's vocalizing to be a piano-comedy act....a world class consummate virtuoso Jazz pianist, accompanying a delusional, tone-deaf American Idol wana-be superstar...an unlikely duo. I particularly loved the time when Keith cussed-out the audience at one of his San Francisco Opera House solo piano concerts. It was a sold-out house, and it was the dream of a lifetime type of concert for any pianist. Several thousand admiring fans, and a perfect, hand-selected Steinway model "D" freshly tuned, where the pianist could play anything that came into his head. Total freedom. The publicity and Keith's written "concert rules" made it clear that attendees arriving late would have to sit in the basement and listen via a loudspeaker, until intermission, when they would then be allowed to take their seats. Coughing, sneezing, talking, and any unnecessary noise would not be allowed. No cell phones or cameras would be allowed at any time. These rules were printed in handout flyers as well as on signs in the lobby. All obedient fans were in their seats before the 8:00 p.m. deadline. We quietly waited for the master to take the stage, however he showed up twenty minutes late. Thunderous applause rang out as he appeared, and it was deadly silent once he started to play. He played some spontaneous improvisations, most of which were reminiscent of some of his earlier recordings. The audience remained compliant with the "rules" until the concert was finally finished. Once Keith walked off the stage, many in the audience thought the "rules" no longer applied, so cell phones and cameras came out of pockets and purses by the hundreds, as the audience continued to applaud and stamp their feet in hopes of Keith gracing them with an encore. After a couple of minutes of this madness, Keith strolled on stage again, this time to a barrage of flashing cameras and arms held high with cell phones tightly gripped. Keith freaked out !!! He walked over to the side of the stage where a standing microphone was placed, and he started screaming, "Is this damn thing on?" "Turn this damn microphone on, NOW, dammit !!! Finally, the microphone was turned on, and the house spotlight found Keith, as he scolded the audience... "What the hell is wrong with you, I said no cameras...you people are nothing more than a bunch of souvenir-hunting tourists, who know nothing, and don'g give a damn about this art form !!" "I've spent my entire life trying to elevate and appreciate Jazz to its rightful place as high art, and you trivialize and cheapen it by turning this concert into an amusement park, a side show !!" "You don't deserve my music !!!" With that, he turned and walked off stage. The audience was not sure what to do, but they started applauding again, and they continued for about a minute. Keith walked back on stage. He did not look at the audience as he walked over to the piano, sat down and started to play 'It Might As Well Be Spring" by Richard Rodgers. Tears began to flow as cameras were put away, and Keith continued to play the most tender, beautiful heartbreaking version of this great tune. He walked off the stage again, and the applause continued. This back and forth, on and off phenomenon continued for three more encores. We got our money's worth that night. Great performance by Keith and a legendary cussing-out to boot, followed by four fantastic encores of beloved popular Jazz standards. I saw Keith after the performance, and he was not in a good mood, so I didn't impose, but after looking back at this night, which would be the ideal dream concert for any pianist to play, I wonder if Keith now reflects upon his performances with the humility and admiration that many of us had in the audience. Certainly, his contribution to Jazz and to the art of the piano, is an enormous one. Unlike the relatively short time that Bill Evans spent on earth, Keith continued to give audiences performances and recordings lasting over a period of seven decades. Despite his current physical condition, he can look back and say his glass was more than half full....in fact, his cup overflowed for an entire lifetime.

@michaelcorenzwit6860 2 года назад

This recording brought back cherished memories of my early introduction to the unique and beautiful music of this unbelievable group of musicians. Kieth later developed free improvisation and made it an art to spontaneously improvise. Charles and Keith are truly great creative artists and are among my very favorites. Lloyd is still turning out his beautiful and unique tone poems at age 84. Also Jack DeJonette on drums and Cecil McBee on bass and I would say this was a truly great group of musicians.

@jamesbaldwin8967 6 лет назад

James Baldwin - Truely, Monterey is where Sunrise and Sunset met each other and they embraced creating such a soft tune full of ocatives that can never be duplicated again. One can hear the Woodwind, Bass and Drums talking to one another and the piano comes in with its feather like melody, like an Elf running and tip toeing through the Forest. .

@jennifer86010 3 года назад

Regarding your You-Tube comment on Saxophonist Charles Lloyd Forest Flower "Live At Monterey" I agree with you that "Music has never been the same"......As a jazz musician, that period in the mid 1960's was the pinnacle of creativity, musicianship, composition and performance for Modern Jazz. All the great Jazz legends of today (most of whom are in their seventies) were hot young players in the mid 1960's. They were trained by and played with older Jazz masters, and the style and culture of Jazz then was to create truly artistic excellence. Jazz musicians back then held each other to very high standards of ability, creativity and performance. You couldn't play in a good band unless you could "cut it"..meaning you had to have a highly evolved musical concept, incredible chops (technical playing ability) and the ability to add musical contribution to the composition and the performance. Unlike much of today's offerings which emphasize superficial stylistic and visuals on stage, you had to REALLY PLAY YOUR INSTRUMENT !! Back then, we all took for granted that the culture of Jazz would continue in the vein of musical and artistic creativity and excellence. It didn't, as time went on. Yes, today in 2021, we do have many creative and talented Jazz musicians, but much of what they compose and perform are simply reconstituted and re-stylized approaches to the genius of what was created in the 1960's. Unfortunately, culture in art, music and the performing arts has integrated itself with computerized and electronic smoke and mirrors, making it much easy for mediocre musicians and artists to create offerings which used to be wrought by hand. I often need to buy parts and musical accessories at Guitar Center. While there, I will always demo the latest electronic keyboards they have on display. Quite often, as I am playing Jazz, young musicians will approach me and stand, listening to what I'm playing. When I finish, they usually say something like "Wow, man you actually PLAY the music?" I ask them "How do you make the music?" They usually say they enter a few notes into a sequencer or computerized keyboard or sound module, and it creates the music and then plays it for them. So, instead of being real musicians, these kids are merely computer operators. Sad, but true. However, on the optimistic side of this coin, there are plenty of young Jazz musicians who are not only learning to play and perform by doing it on gigs, but they have legitimate training in colleges and conservatories which offer college degrees in Jazz teaching as well as music performance. These are the young musicians who have the best of both worlds, and they are the ones who still revere and admire the great Jazz legends of the 1960's, while carrying on their musical and artistic legacy.

One of my all-time favorite jazz pieces. I used to own the vinyl, but time and stupidity removed it from my grasp. I must have been 17 when I first heard it and to this day, the sheer elegance and transcendent fabric of this song becomes elemental. Elemental not in the sense of beginner's awareness, but where the combined expression of this group approaches the 5 elements of Nature in grandeur. Yes, Charlie Lloyd is genius in expression, yet also in his ability to form the perfect mechanism or vehicle to make audible magic. HIs fellow aliens, LOL, in the forms, of Jarrett, McBee, and DeJohnette, all geniuses in their own rights, create brain candy.

I met Charles, Keith, Jack and Cecil over the years and played with Charles. Great personality and wonderful musician. Modern progressive Jazz in the mid 1960's reached it zenith. The organic sound back then, the acoustic instrumentation and the incredible musicianship in the mid '60s was the most inventive, creative, expressive and sonically rich height of the art form. Nothing since has been its equal. Fortunately we have recordings of those days. Forest Flower is one of the mid 60's iconic Jazz tunes, played by legendary players.

Back in the day, I was on a meditation retreat in Montecito, Cali. I didn't know who Charles Lloyd was. While everyone was at lunch, I sat down at the piano and launched into 'Round Midnight. This guy walked over, and we got to talking. He was looking for a place to live in Santa Barbara. He drove a Rolls with tinted windows. Said otherwise the cops were always pulling him over. I suggested the Hollister Ranch, about 40 miles up the coast. It had been my surfing haven for years, but it had recently been subdivided into 100 acre parcels. They went for $100K per parcel. We hit the road. Eventually, he settled in Montecito, near the Vedanta Temple, where he and his wife would meditate nightly. As interesting as his compositions and his improvs was the fluidity of his jive talk. Once settled in on the South Coast, he played from time to time at the Lobrero. While Charles negotiated the curves and cows at the Hollister Ranch, I suggested he title his next album Om on the Range.

So bouyant, flowing, and sublime! A masterpiece. A musical delight that always leaves a smile on your face.

Lloyd and Jarrett and the gang... Pure avant-garde in the late 60's. Some Dolphy's flights can be perceived.

this ensemble is fantastic, Jack is superb. and funny: check it out at 15:15 what makes me love Keith like crazy though, is that he's not only this utmost talented and skilled player but he has this wit to choose what to do in the right time, his choices are so brilliant that he brings any tune to its best, beyond my expectations. he's thrilling, always surprising, enchanting, OMJarrett!! coisa mais linda!

My Confidant stated that this particular live album is up there with..........'Kind of Blue'' and " A Love Supreme"......... since it was my 1st time hearing this Album, this past weekend, I can't quite make that claim..............However, Sunrise-Sunset..............is my new favorite discovery......

@davestahl6676 8 лет назад

+Charmel Moore-Joiner Yeah....Like a really fine wine (that I'll never be able to afford..:-) ) almost 50 years later it gets even better!

WCLK in Atlanta played this a couple of days ago and opened me up to something totally amazing still to this very day.

@marklabrooy9471 3 года назад

They shocked the jazz world at the time. People walked out of their performances. What totally beautiful and mesmerising music it is. Don't know what their problem was.

@tafimutekwe2855 5 лет назад

The most enduring piece of musical workmanship I have ever been exposed to in the avant garde jazz genre. So nostalgic and dreamy I find myself re-tracing all my lifetime footsteps. I have listened to the Forest Flower set since 1984 and up to now each new listening always conjure up some fresh and new hidden melodies from this rather mystic set.

Heard this quartet the week after the Monterey Jazz Festival at the Fillmore Auditorium. Bill Graham would occasionally book some unusual combinations of artists and on this night I guess he wanted to expose rock and roll fans to different generations of jazz. The Charles Lloyd Quartet opened. The Count Basie Orchestra headlined. A memorable concert.

@jefjaisun1522 6 лет назад

I've still got the handbill from the Jan. '67 Fillmore gig, when the Quartet opened for Paul Butterfield. I'd heard this album before so I knew what to expect. The other 1300 people didn't! psychedelic-sixties.tumblr.com/post/20202003710/fillmore-auditorium-the-paul-butterfield-blues

I saw Basie in 1975. I remember the power of Butch Miles on drums. He was like a machine.

@pkspalding 4 года назад

SAW THAT SHOW! One of the highlight of my musical life! Also saw CLQ at the Avalon Ballroom. Eh. Trying too hard to win over a crowd of stoners waiting for Quicksilver Messenger Service. Which of the two is remembered and worshipped today? Not Quicksilver....

@pkspalding 4 года назад

Also saw Basie and Ellington (two shows, not together) at the amphitheater on Mt Tamalpais. Duke died less than two years later. I was blessed.

@dang2443 4 года назад

I think you may have your dates wrong. This was recorded September '66 and the Fillmore Count Basie gig was August '67.

I missed Keith Jarrett twice, once at Mandrake's jazz club in Berkeley in 1970, and at the Basin Street West in SF, around the same time, when he was with Miles. I was outside on Broadway and heard Miles play but didn't go in. He played different with Miles, Chick Correa was also with Miles at that time and must have influenced Keith.
