Last week the Charles Lloyd Quartet had shocks aplenty for the rockers at Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco's hangar-sized discotheque. Though modern jazz normally goes over with teen agers like a 9 p.m. curfew, Lloyd's passionate attack held them spellbound. Wrapping his gangling frame around his tenor saxophone, he explored the full range of the instrument, ricocheting be tween hoarse blats and urgent bleats, pouring...
