this show was a couple of years after les mccann returned to music, several years after his stroke. it’s a fun show, from a musician who’s back in his groove. this is the sort of thing i used to listen too all the time, but which i thought of as more blues than jazz mostly. whatever, running across it on the usb drive was like slipping on a comfortable old pair of trousers.
how’s everybody tonight? two, three, four, yeah, happy to be here.
also: where i can’t find an artist’s website, i’ve started adding instead other links, to something hopefully a bit biographical.
