Lloyd on tenor saxophone and flute, Keith Jarrett on piano, Cecil McBee on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums were still a new band when this was made; \u003cem\u003eForest Flower\u003c\/em\u003e, the live Monterey Jazz Festival recording that would become Lloyd's commercial breakthrough and reach a rock audience previously unreached by jazz, was recorded later the same year. \u003cem\u003eDream Weaver \u003c\/em\u003eprecedes that success and shows the quartet before it became a phenomenon, the four musicians already playing with the collective confidence that \u003cem\u003eForest Flower\u003c\/em\u003e would bring to a much wider audience. Side A is structured around two suites. \"Autumn Sequence\" opens the record with Lloyd on flute: his \"Autumn Prelude\" leads directly into the standard \"Autumn Leaves\" (music by Joseph Kosma, lyrics by Jacques Prévert and Johnny Mercer), with Lloyd remaining on flute throughout before \"Autumn Echo\" closes the sequence. The \"Dream Weaver\" suite that follows moves in two parts: \"Meditation\", which carries something of Coltrane's brooding quality, and the hypnotic \"Dervish Dance\", which draws on Arabic and Indian modes. Side B opens with the modal \"Bird Flight\", followed by the ballad \"Love Ship\", and closes with \"Sombrero Sam\", a Latin ensemble piece that became a regular feature of the group's live set and was released as a single. All compositions except \"Autumn Leaves\" are Lloyd originals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe record was produced by George Avakian and Arif Mardin. Liner notes on the original US pressing were written by Avakian. This 1976 Japanese reissue on Atlantic's Jazz Forever 1500 series (P-4539A) was released on 25 May 1976 and manufactured by Warner-Pioneer Corporation, Atlantic's Japanese licensee in this period.
