Charles Lloyd in Europe is a live album by jazz saxophonist Charles Lloyd on the Atlantic label recorded in Norway by the Charles Lloyd Quartet featuring Keith Jarrett, Cecil McBee and Jack DeJohnette.

Reception[]

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 3 stars and states "Before his great quartet split at the end of 1968, Charles Lloyd took this band literally to the ends of the earth. As a quartet, they had grown immensely from that first astonishing spark when they toured the summer festivals in 1966. Here they are a seasoned unit, full of nuance, elegance, and many surprises, while having moved their entire musical center over to the pursuit of Lloyd's obsession — incorporating the music of the East into Western jazz".[2]
