| Remembering Jack DeJohnette with some rare footage featuring Charles Lloyd, Keith Jarrett & Ron McClure from 1967. |
Writes Charles Lloyd about Jack DeJohnette...
"Out of the blue sometime in 1965, Jack called me... "I want to play with you, man." I had not heard him play yet and was told he was "from the street" and would be too loud. Eventually, we met up and early in 1966 the quartet with Keith, Jack, and Cecil coalesced with a concert at the Left Bank Jazz Society in Baltimore - a spectacular galaxy opened up. Our first recording "Dream Weaver" came out in 1966. Jack DeJohnette was a natural, intuitive musician and a great, great drummer. I'll take the street he comes from any day of the year. Jack brought the street and his own inner, very personal, purposeful vision to every sound he made. Always for the greater good of the Universe. He was a Master. My condolences to Lydia and his family. Barche Lamsel dear friend. Om shanti shanti shantihi"
