40th Anniversary of Forest Flower



The audience at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1966 had no idea they were witnessing one of the most historic recording sessions in the annals of jazz. The recording of the set that day by The Charles Lloyd Quartet would soon become one of the biggest jazz hits of the era. The resulting release, Forest Flower became one of the first million selling jazz records and catapult Lloyd into the forefront of the 60's musical scene.
