Universally hailed as the reigning king of the Blues, and a legend in his own time, B.B. KING is without doubt the most influential electric Blues guitar player of our time, having had a formidable impact on the development of both modern Blues and Rock & Roll music. Any conceivable contemporary Blues guitar solo boasts at least a couple of bent notes, noticeably influenced by KING. Yet B.B. KING remains basically a modest and quite accessible superstar, whose self-effacing gracious demeanor is as much a trademark as are his unique guitar licks. LIVE IN EUROPE features a concert by B.B. KING and his Orchestra recorded in January 1983, at the Palais Des Festivals in Cannes, France. B.B. KING performs splendid renditions of some of his signature tunes, such as: THE THRILL IS GONE, PAYING THE COST TO BE THE BOSS, and EVERYDAY I HAVE THE BLUES. The late great jazz pianist DAVE BRUBECK, who was also performing that night, joins B.B. KING for JAM, the closing track – making this a truly unique album.
