Lenny Kravitz @ North Sea Jazz Festival 2012

Lenny Kravitz @ North Sea Jazz Festival 2012 Rotterdam The Netherlands Friday, July 6th 2012 (Actually started after midnight 00:45 on Saturday, July 7th 2012) Here are a few songs I recorded from the nightconcert on the first day @ North Sea Jazz 2012. Starting at 00:45 after a long day full of concerts, the energy level was still high and Lenny Kravitz made sure it didn't drop for a moment. Playing a bunch of hits, a great band and surprise act by Trombone Shorty this was a show to remember. From a technical point of view. The sound was a bit loud, which meant a slight distortion. Since I haven't come across another audiosource yet, I went with it. I tried to tweak it a little, but not an audio expert. But enjoyable enough I hope. NSJ Program description: Following up on the performances by Prince in 2011, this year multi-instrumentalist Lenny Kravitz is giving a night concert at North Sea Jazz. Kravitz is one of the greats of the music world and last year he released his ninth album. On Black & White America, Kravitz examines his roots as the child of a mixed-race couple.
