Jonny Lewis Quartet • Shuckin' And Jivin'

 

The Johnny Lewis Quartet and a shadowy group in Seattle,

they recorded this one live album in the restaurant "Trojan Horse" in 1972

when Johnny plays with his friends for 5 years as House Band.

Recorded live in 1972, Shuckin' n' Jivin' is a previously lost soul jazz gem. Funky as all hell, the Johnny Lewis Quartet mix the laid-back style of late 60's Blue Note jazz with the funkier rare groove sound of the early 70's. This special edition re-release from the Luv n' Haight Archives Series includes all of the original Shuckin' n' Jivin' album, plus two extra tunes: a killer, ultra-funky version of the Meters' "Cissy Strut" (with a fat drum break you've never heard) and Buddy Miles' "Them Changes."

Featuring Seattle legend Johnny Lewis on sax, James (Moody) Thompson on organ, Joe Villa on guitar and Kenneth Drake on drums, Shuckin' n' Jivin' is filled to the brim with dirty organ and clavinet solos, choppy rhythm guitar, massive percussion breakdowns and the hottest horn solos this side of Maceo Parker.

The live tunes for Shuckin and Jivin' were recorded in 1972 at the Trojan Horse restaurant in Seattle where Johnny and the boys played as the house band for five years.

El Cuarteto de Johnny Lewis y un grupo de sombras en Seattle,

grabaron un álbum en vivo en el restaurante "Caballo de Troya" en 1972.

cuando Johnny toca con sus amigos durante 5 años como House Band.

Grabado en vivo en 1972, Shuckin' n' Jivin' es una joya del jazz soul previamente perdida. Funky como el infierno, el Johnny Lewis Quartet mezcla el estilo relajado del jazz Blue Note de finales de los 60 con el sonido más funky del groove raro de principios de los 70. Esta edición especial de la serie de archivos Luv n' Haight incluye todo el álbum original de Shuckin' n' Jivin', además de dos temas extra: una versión mortal y ultra-funky de "Cissy Strut" de los Meters (con una rotura de tambor gorda que nunca has oído) y "Them Changes" de Buddy Miles.

Con la leyenda de Seattle Johnny Lewis al saxo, James (Moody) Thompson al órgano, Joe Villa a la guitarra y Kenneth Drake a la batería, Shuckin' n' Jivin' está lleno de solos sucios de órgano y clavecín, guitarra rítmica entrecortada, descomposturas masivas de percusión y los solos de trompeta más calientes de este lado de Maceo Parker.

Los temas en directo de Shuckin' and Jivin' se grabaron en 1972 en el restaurante Trojan Horse de Seattle, donde Johnny y los chicos tocaron como banda de la casa durante cinco años.
