Live In France

In the 1960s, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers took the London music scene by storm. Europe and America soon followed, mesmerised by his own brand of British blues. In these early years, his line- ups included the likes of guitarists Mick Taylor and Freddie Robinson, saxophonist Dick Heckstall-Smith, drummers Keef Hartley and Colin Allen, and violinist Don Sugarcane Harris.

Across the channel, music TV in France was broadcasting intelligent, high quality shows and mini documentaries, inviting British and American musicians to perform. John Mayall was a regular guest, and this collection follows his musical journey between 1967 and 1971, including performances in London and the Newport Jazz Festival, captured by the French TV archives, beautifully filmed and produced, and newly remastered.
