Personnel:
Otis Spann: Vocals, Piano
Robert Lockwood Jr. Guitar, Vocals
'St. Louis Jimmy' Oden: Vocals
The legendary Otis Spann gained renown as Muddy Waters’ pianist throughout the latter musician’s classic period of electric Chicago blues. Spann was also influential as a member of the Chess label’s house-band, which backed a roster of blues giants and big selling artists. However, Spann’s 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 Otis’ 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 “St. Louis Jimmy” Oden. All of these fabulous numbers have been remastered in this special collector’s 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.
