Over to France this week for one of the many Jazz festivals that went on in Europe this past summer. Charles Lloyd and His "New Quartet" at the Charlie Jazz Festival in Vitrolles France on July 1, 2011. The concert was recorded by Radio France as part of its Jazz Club weekly series (an amazing series of interviews, concerts and rarities - check 'em out).
Here's the lineup and particulars via Radio France:
