Charles Lloyd, tenor saxophonist and flutist with the Cannonball Adderley Sextet for the last year and half, has formed his own quartet. Lloyd's group made its debut at Slug's Saloon July 27-31. Members of the group for that engagement were guitarist Gabor Szabo, a former associate of Lloyd's in drummer Chico Hamilton's quintet; bassist Ron Carter; and drummer Joe Chambers. In announcing Lloyd's departure from his sextet, Adderley said: "Charles leaves with my thanks for his fine contributions to the group and with my best wishes for what I know will be his future success on his own." It was the second personnel change in the Adderley group in a month's time; drummer Louis Hayes had left late in June to join the Oscar Peterson Trio.
