One man comes to mind when the words "funk" and "fun" are connected with a jazz musician: Les McCann. The man from Kentucky, self-taught and a true heavyweight on the delicate piano stool, dedicated his whole life on the road to performing funk. He was highly successful — whether playing with his trio or with Eddie Harris, as a pianist or as a singer, in a club or on a big stage — and he always succeeded in captivating his audience.On But Not Really, the first of seven LPs on the Limelight Label, he plays in a trio with Victor Gaskin on the bass and Paul Humphrey on drums. The three musicians were carefully guided by their producer, Jack Tracy, and the liner notes describes their close collaboration. "A Little Three-Four" is highly recommended listening, as "is Yours Is My Heart Alone," which fans of Lehar's operettas will enjoy singing along to while others will appreciate the fantastic improvisations in this popular piece which Less McCann performs less showily than Oscar Peterson in his version but with more humor and emotion.This album offers piano trio jazz that is free from intellectual encumbrance. It is jazz for the soul. Recorded in December 1964, the LP is now available once again after almost 50 years with the original outstanding and lavish cover artwork!Side 1 But Not Really A Little Three-Four Out Delight Sweetie Side 2 We're On The Move Now Jack V. Schwartz Little Freak Yours Is My Heart Alone ALOS THE SPEAKER CORNER PRESSING - Les McCann & Eddie Harris Swiss Movement 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE LIMITED EDITION LP TAS Rated 5/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics in the April 2019 Issue of The Absolute Sound! High Quality Pure Analogue 180g Virgin Vinyl LP! AAA Recording! Les McCann had already been playing his way through the clubs and record studios on the US west coast for ten years when his appearance on June 21, 1969 at the relatively new and jazz-soaked festival in Montreux on Lake Geneva changed all that. There, he celebrated his greatest musical success, his number one hit. Half ironically, but proudly in later concerts, when the piano stool could hardly bear him due to his size and weight, he stressed that "Swiss Movement" had supported him, his wife, children and grandchildren. "Compared To What" is a catchy melody that is heard on the radio, again and again, all around the world, today, tomorrow and the day after It is unmistakable, still groovy, full of soul, humorous, stirring. And "Cold Duck Time" is no way inferior: Eddie Harris blows for all he is worth. Everyone can hear that Benny Bailey was challenged by the unknown themes, but this maestro still managed to capture the audiences ear and attention. "Swiss Movement" is, and will remain forever, a highlight among all the jazz LPs that have been recorded live and it shouldn’t be missing from any collectors shelf. Along with Benny Goodmans Carnegie Hall Concert from 1938, Charlie Parker & Co.’s Massey Hall concert from 1953, and Ella Fitzgerald’s Berlin concert from 1960 and very few others. This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head.

Fake OutLASTLY WE HAVE LES MACCANN LTD. & LOU RAWLS STORMY MONDAY LIMITED EDITION LP - THEY'VE added 3 previously unreleased recordings: Blues Is A Woman, A Little Les Of Lou's Blues, and an alternative version of Stormy Monday - to the original LP! Carefully remastered by Master & Servant and pressed on 180-gram vinyl. When Lou Rawls (1933-2006) entered the recording studio in LA in February 1962 to record his first album, ''Stormy Monday'' in collaboration with Les McCann's combo, hardly anyone could have guessed what success and popularity the black singer, songwriter, producer and film actor would achieve in the coming decades. In 1966 he made his breakthrough with Love Is A Hurtin' Thing and reached the top of the R&B charts. Four years earlier the situation was different. Rawls had grown up in the south side of Chicago, got in touch with gospel music early, met Curtis Mayfield and replaced Sam Cooke in the Highway QC's a few years later. At eighteen, he moved to the West Coast, released his first recordings, and created a masterpiece along with jazz pianist Les McCann, a prototype of the cool jazz/blues melange so characteristic for the L.A. music scene. The silky deep baritone voice carries the reinterpretations of such famous blues classics as (They Call It) Stormy Monday, See See See Rider, I'm Gonna Move To The Outskirts Of Town or In The Evening When The Sun Goes Down. Lou Rawls just possesses that voice! But besides the song selection and Lou Rawls' goose-bump producing voice, the small combo of Les McCann - also known as Ltd. - must be credited for the incredibly coherent production. Part of the recordings were made during a night session, which must be regarded as one of the gentlest and most relaxed recording sessions in history. With 'Stormy Monday' Rawls and McCann turn away from the then popular 'Neo-Gospel' or 'Soul-Jazz'. Their wonderful arrangements are reminiscent of the great R&B of the early 50s. The result: pure electricity! In other words: one of the most beautiful cool Jazz/Blues albums of its time!
