Wednesday, October 17, 1973 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Face tve Wednesday, October Vi, 1973 IHE MICHIGAN DAILY 1'aae Five 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.

By KURT HARJU 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." CU LT URF _______1"EAN~ FILM-Ann Arbor Film Co-op presents Penn's Bonnie and Clyde in Aud.
