The Changes
By Stan Raines
CHARLES LLOYD ’•
A Different Sound On Flute
The flute is an instrument
that has long been overlooked
for its value and versatility to
the jazz musician. But once
discovered, the number of
musicians (mostly saxophone
players) playing jazz flute
continues to grow.
One of the most haunting
sounds I have ever heard on
flute is that of Charles Lloyd.
Lloyd was bom in Memphis,
Tennessee March 15, 1938. He
is from a well educated family
which was not ready a musical
family although a couple of
distant relatives played.
Lloyd’s father was a
pharmacist and of course he
hoped that his son would
follow in his footsteps. But
young Charles Lloyd had music
on his mind.
It was a local Be-Bop band
that really inspiried Lloyd to
play and this interest caused
him to get his first saxophone
around 1948. He could feel
what he wanted to do on sax
so he started to teach himself
and did real well using this
method until he began to see
how necessary it was to have
an instructor.
Irving Reason was more than
one could ask for as an
instructor and while studying
under him Lloyd blossomed
into a fine alto saxophone
player. In school he studied
among others who were
destined to be well known
future musicians, Frank
Strozier, Booker Little, and
George Coleman, to name a
few.
During high school he
played with the groups of BB
King and Bobby “Blue” Bland
and after graduation he moved
to Southern California in 1956
and entered the University of
Southern California to major in
dentistry. Later finding that
dentistry wasn’t really what he
wanted to do in life, he
switched to music
composition.
While at college he played
with Gerald Wilson and others.
He continued in college and
earned a Master’s degree in
music and was active for some
time as a teacher in junior high
school. He was a member of

HENDRICKS
HOME: New London, Connecticut
PROFESSION: Painter, photographer,
fine arts instructor
HOBBIES: Music, basketball, traveling.
LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Displayed at
a major bicentennial exhibition at the
Philadelphia Museum of Art, which featured
the paintings of over 500 artists from
American history.
QUOTE: “My work provides me with total
freedom. In turn, it demands total honesty.
So long as one can remain honest with himself
and his work, he'll have the freedom for the
exploration and satisfaction of his foremost
feelings and desires."
PROFILE: Sensitive. Has a rare talent for
capturing and expressing universally
felt emotions in his paintings.

the 1961 Chico Hamilton
group playing alto sax, and
clarinet In 1962 he switched
to tenor sax and became
increasingly active on flute
which he had taken up in
1958.
It was Lloyd’s music and
incentive which caused Chico
to reorganize and revitalize his
approach to jazz. He left Chico
in 1964 to join Julian
Cannonball Adderly. After
leaving Cannonball he formed
his own group in July, 1965
and during the next few
months, came to prominence
via Columbia Records and
night club appearances.
It is easy to see that there is
just a touch of John Coltrane,
Sonny Rollins, and Sonny Stitt
in his playing.
Charles Lloyd is a first rate
writer and has written a great
number of jazz classics. His
tenor has a sound which

vibrates seemingly into a
combination of John Coltrane
and Sonny Rollins tones. On
flute, he achieves a pure sound
of almost archaic quality,
reminding us that our flute is a
direct descendant of the oldest
instrument made by man. His
flute playing has arrived closer
to a completely original sound
than that of almost any other
jazz flutist or flautist (as you
prefer) in modern music.
In listening to “Lady
Gabor” an early tune played
by the Chico Hamilton
Quartet, you’ll sense at once
that you are listening to a
different sound on flute.
Keeping in mind that this tune
was recorded on September 20,
1962, believe me... You should

Wilson then pulled a pistol
and shot one time. He and
Crawford fought over the
pistol and Wilson knocked
Crawford out the door, into

Crawford was then shot at

Wilson.
Police found Crawford lying
in the yard and sent him to
University Hospital where he
was pronounced dead on
arrival.
Medical examinations
revealed that Crawford had
been shot one time below the

Wilson was arrested and
charged with murder.

Mack stated that “the
decision to go to a remedial

revealed that while there has

■ For 22nd through 30th ■** o■■ ' > *
ARIES - March 21st to April 20th - The New Moon plus other
favorable aspects on the 23rd beam the spotlight on a close
relationship (you may marry, or begin a profitable business
partnership). Lunar aspects on the 24th continue the fortunate
financial indications now, while the 25th shows you to be
ultra-creative; promote new ideas. Domestic tension is possible on
the 26th t when the Moon squares Saturn; this is also not the day
to challenge your boss! The 30th is super-dynamic but the
Venus/Uranus conjunction cautions against romantic impulses.
TAURUS - April 21st to May 20th - The New Moon on the
23rd occurs in your Sixth House, an indicator of new projects in
the works in your job environment. Fortunate Jupiter aspects on
the same date mean that changes will be to your advantage. The
24th and 25th are super-creative days for you, also favoring
romance and/or social pleasures. When the Moon squares Saturn
on the 26th, emotional tension may agitate a relationship; this
can be resolved by the Moon/Satum trine of the 28th. If you’re
eligible for romance, the Venus/Uranus blend on the 30th helps.
GEMINI - May 21st to June 20th - If you’re eligible for
romance the New Moon of the 23rd in your Fifth House can
certainly provide it! Other matters favored on this day are
creative work, children’s interests, perhaps a bit of financial luck.
These same subjects continue to be favorably emphasized on the
24th and 25th, but the Moon/Satum square of the 26th means
don’t believe all you hear; news can be much exaggerated. You
may be tempted to overspend on the 27th, when the Moon
opposes Jupiter, while the Venus/Uranus blend of the 30th means
friction.
CANCER - June 21st to July 22nd - Keep your head on
straight on the 22nd, as the Moon/Neptune square prompts fuzzy
thinking The New Moon on the 23rd occurs in your Fourth
House; maybe you’re planning to move or purchase some
property? Tliis sort of thing may be in view. The Moon conjoins
Uranus on the 25th, squares Saturn on the 26th; if you’re not
eligible to flirt, don’t! (There could be repercussions.) Fortunate
lunar aspects on the 28th can smooth things over; however, the
Venus/Uranus conjunction on the 30th cautions against risk.
LEO - July 23rd to August 22nd - The 23rd brings not only the
New Moon but also a Sun/Jupiter trine, making this a great day
to launch a new venture (personal or in business). High-powered
lunar aspects on the 24th and 25th increase your creative output,
also favor financial gains. The Moon/Satum square of the 26th
could be depressive, but it’s more apt to be simply your mood
than any concrete problem. The Moon’s aspects on the 28th
combine luck with practicality; you’ll know how to handle this
day’s developments.
VIRGO - August 23rd to September 22nd - The New Moon of
the 23rd occurs in your Second House of money -a plus for
beginning a new financial venture. Lunar aspects on the 24th and
25th show that friends and group-interest associates can do a lot
for you now; take advantage of supportive offers. The
Moon/Jupiter opposition on the 27th may tempt you to spend
too much on luxuries, but lunar aspects on the 28th face you
with reality! When Venus conjoins Uranus on the 30th, you are
supercreative. However, unexpected news then should be taken
lightly.
LIBRA - September 23rd to October 22nd - The New Moon on
the 23rd occurs in your own Sun Sign; a go-ahead signal for
launching major projects. On the 24th, financial gain through a
partner is indicated by the Moon’s conjunction to both Mars and
Pluto. Lunar aspects on the 25th, which involve Venus and
Uranus, are potent emotional stimulants, but the Moon/Satum
square on the 26th may bring depressive reaction. The seesaw
continues, with the 27th a day of cheery optimism, the 29th a bit
frustrating - but the Venus/Uranus conjunction on the 30th
means love.
SCORPIO - October 23rd to November 22nd - The New Moon
on the 23rd occurs in your Twelfth House, indicating a revised
outlook on a major problem. When the Moon conjoins both Mars
and Pluto on the 24th, a legal matter could be settled, or an
in-law question resolved. Romance and travel are each highly
favored on the 25th, while the Moon/Satum square of the 26th
suggests you do not challenge an authority figure. The 27th and
28th look enjoyably social, but love/romance/sex dominate the
30th, when Venus conjoins Uranus in your own Sun Sign.
SAGITTARIUS- November 23rd to December 21st - The New
Moon on the 23rd occurs in your Eleventh House and can launch
you on a new wave of social popularity. The Moon’s conjunction
to Mars on the 24th favors both romance and speculation, but
when the Moon squares Saturn on the 26th, don’t do anything
illicit or illegal as you could get found out! If you shop on the
27th, control those urges to spend wildly. The 28th favors travel
and legal matters, but the Venus/Uranus conjunction on the 30th
again cautions against involvement in “behind-the-scences”
activity.
CAPRICORN - December 22nd to January 19th - The New
Moon on the 23rd occurs in your Tenth House, which can be
highly beneficial for career achievement. On the 25th, the Moon
conjoins both Venus and Uranus; a plus for social popularity
and/or romance. On the 26th, though, problems with a partner
may stem from the Moon/Satum square; be diplomatic. The 28th
is a better day for all partnership matters, as the Moon trines
Saturn; the 30th is a day of unexpected career opportunity as
Venus conjoins Uranus, so you should be on the alert to useful
changes.
AQUARIUS - January 20th to February 18th - The New Moon
on the 23rd occurs in your Ninth House, which strongly favors
travel, education, legal transactions. This is further emphasized
by lunar aspects on the 24th. The Moon’s conjunction to Venus
and Uranus on the 25th could bring unexpected career news; also
suggests a high-powered love attraction along the way. The 27th
and 28th appear to be social or group-oriented in activity, but
when Venus conjoins Uranus on the 30th that stimulating
love-theme is again highlighted; can be great if you’re
eligible.
PISCES - February 19th to March 20th - The New
Moon on the 23rd occurs in your Eighth House of partnership
finances; a fortunate omen for beginning - or gaining from -a
joint endeavor. Stimulating lunar aspects on the 24th and 25th
are favorable for creative work, for children’s interests - and for
your love relationship. When the Moon opposes Jupiter on the
27th you may overspend on domestic items or entertaining, but
you'll enjoy it anyway. The Moon/Neptune conjunction on the
28th is excellent for both career advancement and romance.
