Dream Weaver is the third album by jazz saxophonist Charles Lloyd, his first released on the Atlantic label, and the first recordings by the Charles Lloyd Quartet featuring Keith Jarrett, Cecil McBee and Jack DeJohnette. The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars and states "Dream Weaver is a fully realized project by a band — a real band — in which each member has a unique part of the whole to contribute... There were no records like this one by new groups in 1966".[3]
