Description
For the first time ever, experience the full power of Freddie King's explosive 1975 performance at the Jazz Pulsations Festival in Nancy, France - a never-before-released live set that captures the Texas blues legend at his fiercest. King roars through a high-energy set of blues, funk, and soul-drenched grooves, backed by a razor-sharp band and fueled by his searing guitar tone and powerhouse vocals.
This performance, long held in the archives of INA (the French national audiovisual institute), is now presented in its complete form - fully restored and available to the public for the very first time.
The audio was transferred directly from the original stereo tape reels at INA and mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, ensuring stunning sound quality that brings every note to life. This limited edition includes rare, previously unpublished photographs from the festival and extensive liner notes.
Freddie King: guitar, vocals
Calep Emphrey: drums
Alvin Hemphill: organ
Mark Pollack: guitar
Lewis Stephens: piano
