Otis Spann - Otis Spann Is The Blues - Pure Pleasure LP

180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl, Pressed at Pallas in Germany

Another gem from the legendary Candid label, this may be Otis Spann's finest piece of work on record. Arguably the greatest of all blues pianists, Spann delivers wonderfully imaginative, tasty solos and better-than-average vocals, his restrained style making you think as well as making you dance. Recorded August 23, 1960 at Fine Recording Studios in New York by George Piros — the same engineer behind many of the great Mercury Living Presence releases — with Robert Lockwood, Jr. on guitar.
