B.B. King – In France: Live at the Nancy Jazz Pulsations Festival (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
By 1977, B.B. King had already logged three decades on the road and was deep into his role as blues ambassador to the world, bringing Lucille to festival stages across Europe with the kind of authority that only comes from a lifetime in the music. The Nancy Jazz Pulsations Festival was exactly the room for him, a European audience hungry for American blues at its most unfiltered. Catching him live that October means catching the full sweep of his catalog, from jump blues staples like "Caldonia" and "Honky Tonk" to the slow-burn soul he'd perfected over countless late nights.
In France: Live at the Nancy Jazz Pulsations Festival (1977) is a previously unissued live recording from the legendary bluesman B.B. King captured by the ORTF in France on October 7, 1977 and released on producer Zev Feldman's Deep Digs label in partnership with Elemental Music and INA France.
The limited-edition 180g 2 x LP set was mastered and cut by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, and include rare photos by Thierry Trombert, Val Wilmer, Jan Persson and more; plus liner notes by the acclaimed french author Jean Buzeline; and testimonials from fellow blues icons who knew or were inspired by B.B. King.
