2-CD SETINCLUDES 4 BONUS TRACKSThe legendary Otis Spann gained renown as Muddy Watersâ pianist throughout the latter musicianâs classic period of electric Chicago blues. Spann was also influential as a member of the Chess labelâs house-band, which backed a roster of blues giants and big selling artists. However, Spannâs importance extended beyond his work as a sideman. He showed off his brilliance as a blues vocalist on a series of splendid recordings in a well-lived (though not extensive) solo career.This quintessential 2-CD set presents Otisâ prolific session in New York City, on August 23rd, 1960. The date was produced by Nat Hentoff, and featured guitar master Robert Lockwood, Jr., with some vocal help from âSt. Louis Jimmyâ Oden. All of these fabulous numbers have been remastered in this special collectorâs edition which also includes 4 bonus tracks. They consist of songs Spann taped as a soloist in the mid-1950s. This is a truly indispensable set for any blues fan.PERSONNEL:OTIS SPANN, vocals and piano, plus:ROBERT LOCKWOOD Jr., guitar and vocalsâSt. LOUIS JIMMYâ ODEN, vocalsRecorded at Fine Studios, New York City, August 23, 1960.INCLUDES 16-PAGE BOOKLETCD 1 TOTAL TIME: 73:0501.
