Rarità discografiche: Charles Lloyd quartet with Keith Jarrett Live Europe 1967

The tenorsaxophonist Charles Lloyd (1938) had the peak of his popularity in the second half of the 60s with a quartet including some young musicians that will become all famous: the pianist Keith Jarrett (1945), the bassist Ron McClure (1941) and the drummer Jack De Johnette (1942). In 1967 the group was voted "Group of the Year" by Downbeat Magazine.

In spring of that year the quartet came in tournée in Europe. Only two concerts of that tour were recorded live, the first one at "Kalevi Sport Hall", Tailinn, Estonia, May 14, 1967 published as Charles Lloyd in Soviet Union (Atlantic SD 1571),

All compositions by Charles Lloyd except as indicated

Charles Lloyd (ts, fl)
Keith Jarrett (p)
Ron McClure (b)
Jack DeJohnette (d) 1. Days and Nights Waiting (Keith Jarrett) 7:06
2. Sweet Georgia Bright 17:54 3. Love Song to a Baby 12:32

4. Tribal Dance 10:22

the second one was performed in Paris (France) June 11, 1967 and was published only in Italy in a rare CD in 1994 and never reissued. The repertory is quite the same but I have found another track of that evening, not published on the CD, in which Keith Jarrett plays the soprano sax and his dialogue with Lloyd is very exiting.

Jazz Live in Europe: Miles Davis "Lost quintet" (1969)

The performances of Miles Davis with the so called Lost quintet [M. D. (tr), Wayne Shorter (ss, ts) Chick Corea (el-p), Dave Holland (bs, el-bs) Jack DeJohnette (drm)] are some of the most interesting of his career. The quintet was so named because they never recorded as five-men lineup in the studio, and only on 2001 with It's About That Time [Live at the Fillmore East mar. 7, 1970]

it was possible to listen to them on an official release.
The blogger Heat Warps posted 3 album botlegs with some performances of the quintet in France (Juan-les-Pins july 1969, Paris Salle Pleyel, nov. 1969 2 sets) that is possible to download here.
In the following videos we can see the quintet in Rome (Italy) at Teatro Sistina oct. 27, 1969

and in Copenhagen (Denmark) at Tivoli Konsertsal nov. 4, 1969.
