Shirley Scott • Queen Of The Organ

Review

This CD reissue brings back all of the music previously put out on the two-LP set The Great Live Sessions with the exception of one number ("Shirley's Shuffle") left out due to lack of space; with over 70 minutes of music, one cannot complain too much about the omission. Overall, this is a pretty definitive live set featuring organist Shirley Scott, tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Otis "Candy" Finch, one of the great soul-jazz combos of the 1960s. In addition to a swinging "Just In Time" and Duke Ellington's "Squeeze Me, But Please Don't Tease Me," the set mostly features obscurities and originals, plus a surprisingly effective version of the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love." The musicians sound quite heated and consistently inspired. Highly recommended.

Reseña:

Esta reedición del CD trae de vuelta toda la música previamente puesta en el set de dos-LP The Great Live Sessions con la excepción de un número ("Shirley's Shuffle") dejado fuera por falta de espacio; con más de 70 minutos de música, uno no puede quejarse demasiado de la omisión. En general, este es un set en vivo bastante definitivo con la organista Shirley Scott, el saxofonista tenor Stanley Turrentine, el bajista Bob Cranshaw y el baterista Otis "Candy" Finch, uno de los grandes combos de soul-jazz de los años 60. Además de un swing "Just In Time" y "Squeeze Me, But Please Don't Tease Me" de Duke Ellington, el conjunto presenta sobre todo oscuridades y originales, además de una versión sorprendentemente efectiva de "Can't Buy Me Love" de los Beatles. Los músicos suenan muy acalorados y consistentemente inspirados. Altamente recomendado.
