Every jazz lover and his dog knows this one, it is easily the most recognizable Blue Note album, and understandably so. The groove is low down (and dirty sometimes), the interplay between these top-notch musicians is exemplary, a perfect companion for those relaxing, late-night sessions with the proverbial scotch at hand. Even the late Stevie Ray Vaughan covered the famous Chitlins con Carne (albeit not very successfully). Here's your chance to taste the real thing the way it was supposed to be heard in its original 1963 monophonic version from my private collection (complete with surface noise here and there, perfect for evoking that all-important time capsule effect)...

ReplyDeletemany thanks
Yup, one of the great classics. I had it on vinyl at least four times, I think but I lost all of them except one. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try it with a scotch and soda!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to the magic of Kenny Burrell. Came across him via Marc Ribot who has a couple of albums in a mambo style. I think i'll try it with an Acapulco Gold (closely guarded recipe, but it contains Kahluha and vodka!)
