Released by Atlantic in 1971 when
the Charles Lloyd Quartet was already history, these performances (from the same concert that resulted in
Charles Lloyd in Europe) contain some excellent remakes ("Love In/Island Blues" and "Goin' to Memphis"),
Gabor Szabo's "Gypsy '66,"
Cecil McBee's "Wilpan's," and a fine rendition of "Speak Low."
Lloyd (whether on tenor or flute), the already impressive pianist
Keith Jarrett, bassist
McBee, and drummer
Jack DeJohnette are heard in enthusiastic form. This set is even a bit better than the
In Europe album due to the stronger (if more familiar) material. ~ Scott Yanow
