Charles Lloyd Discography

This is a  list of released albums, sorted by recording date (see Explanations). As of October 2003 the old online discography is no longer available because it became more and more incomplete in comparison to the printed discography dream weaver which is now available. However, additions and corrections to the book edition will be published here online
