Lloyd.
By BOB ELEY
Sitting barefoot and cross-leg-
ged in a WCBN recording studio,
saxophonist Charles Lloyd main-
tains that "Life is service and
the liberation of Mr. Chaos."
Having played a gig last week
at the opening of King Pleasure
-a new jazz bar on Stadium -
Lloyd would like to return to Ann
Arbor next year for the Blues and
Jazz Festival.
Tall and extremely slender,
Lloyd plays tenor saxophone and
flute, both of which require an
enormous amount of air. He is
presently a vegetarian - fruitar-
ian moving toward the "breath-
Music
is
my
rel
r
0
itarian space" where he would
eat nothing.
He believes fasting is beneficial
to the soil and admires Dick Gre-
gory for his ability to abstain
from solid food. Lloyd's longest
fast lasted three weeks, but he
hopes eventually to increase the
time to 40 days.
Lloyd practices transcendental
meditation because'six years ago
friends of his who had formerly
been "notorious" drug users took
it up and started "looking real
clear around the eyes." He
swears it "breaks up the every-
day stress of life" and frees his
creative energy.
Lloyd is concerned about our
ability to live in harmony with
nature on such a small planet.
After praising the various com-
ponents of his new stereo system,
however, Lloyd explains, "I do
still love technology." He feels it
is possible to attain the right mix-
ture between technology and na-
ture if people would behave in "a
moral and responsible manner."
Above all, the most important
thing to Charles Lloyd is music,
largely because "everyone is able
to bring to it his own experi-
ences."
He tells a story of playing a
concert in Romania and being
Olivia de Havilland recollects
glamorous Hollywood career
mobbed afterwards by people
th- ?king him for playing so many
of their folk songs. Lloyd was
delighted with the response but
had to confess that he knew no
Romanian folk songs.
Lloyd has never confined him-
self to one particular idiom. Salt-
ing his performances instead with
compositions by Sonny Rollins
and the Rolling Stones, he seeks
only to make good music. In his
own words, "Music .is my reli-
gion.,
His acquaintances in the field
range from John Coltrane, prime
exemplar of modern jazz, to,
members of the Grateful Dead.
Lloyd's fascination with jazz be-
gan in Memphis, when at the age
of eight he heard the bebop of
Charlie Parrker and Dizzy Gilles-
pie. He took up the saxophone
and by his teens was working
for blues artists Bobbie Bland
and B. B. King.;
"Super lily-white fraternity
Americana" is Lloyd's character-
ization of the University of Sou-
thern California during his years
there as a student. While study-
ing classical music, he took the
opportunity to hear jatzz artists
playing in Los Angeles. He con-
ceived a love for the music of J.'
S. Bach but also became aware
that there was an "obstacle
course" set in the way of more
ion
widespread appreciation of jazz.
After leaving California, Lloyd
went to New York City where
he worked with groups led by
Chico Hamilton and Cannonball
Adderly.. In 1965 he formed his
own quartet and recorded two al-
bums for Columbia, neither of
which sold enough to keep him
his contract. Lloyd feels that
these and countless other jazz
albums are merely "shoved in
the back of the record bin" with
no attempt at promotion or ad-
vertisement.
After switching record compa-
nies in 1966, Lloyd recorded
Forest Flower which sold several
hundred thousand copies. Even
though this album has done the
best of any, he believes the sales
would have been much higher had
the company done its job. "They
could have made a million-seller
out of 'it, if they'd wanted to,"
Lloyd claims.
About this time, Lloyd tired of
playing New York "saloons" and
went to Europe. There, he and
his group performed in concert
halls before appreciative audi-
ences, a radical change from the
secondaryattention paid them in
bars.
Lloyd feels this difference
taught some Americans that jazz
was inherently good and not to
be used as background for a
binge.

Olivia de Havilland humorous-
ly reflected on her journey from
"The City of Stars to the City of
Lights" in the first of this year's
Waterman Town Hall Celebrity
Lectures.
The former film star who is fa-
mous for her performances in
Gone With the Wind and 40 other,
films (including two which won
Academy Awards) spoke to an
audience of over 600 yesterday in
the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater.
Of her many experiences and
accomplishments, her early mis-
adventures as a young and as-
piring actress were the main
subject of her lecture.
After her first role in the film
version of A Midsummer's Night
Dream, she recalled being cast
as the leading lady in a Joe E.
Brown comedy. In one scene,
Brown and she were to row out
to the middle of a muddy lake
and capsize the boat.
She found out just before the
shooting that the company and
cast had decided not to use a dou-
ble for the actual capsizing in or-
der to sink her high-flung Shake-
spearian notions. She got the best
of them by going straight to the
bottom and staying there until
most of those present were in the
water looking for her.
The nine films she made with
Errol Flynn -- from Captain
Blood to They Died With Their
Boots On - were also a source
of some fond memories.
During a costume change,
Flynn-planted a dead snake in a
dress she was to have put on.
She was so frightened she ran
waist-deep into another muddy
lake to the sound of his muffled
laughter.
"I found out later that it was
his way of showing affection,"
she laughed, "though I couldp't
have kgown it then."
During the Filming of Gone
With the Wind, she remembered
Clark Gable threatening to quit
the acting business because he
was too embarrassed to cry in the
scene where he regrets pushing
Scarlett down the stairs. It was
only after alot of encouragement
that she and the others were able
to convince the fuming Gable
that he could do it.
Of her own role as Ashley's
compassionate wife she said,
"She's the woman I've always
wanted to be; she's happy be-
cause love is her strength."
The last time she saw Gone
With the Wind, most of her co-
stars had passed away and the
Hollywood film industry *as dy-
ing, but' she recalled thinking
that "They're alive. The movie is
about survival. I, like the indus-
try, have found a new form in
which to continue."
