Product Information
Les McCann’s “On Time” was the eighth album of this talented and popular jazz pianist’s leader career. Always a consummately swinging and distinctively soulful communicator, he displays the full extent of his honest preaching, warmth and creativity in a range embracing the impressionistic on the introduction to On Time, and an expansive chordal approach on It Could Happen to You. In the pieces here, including four excellent originals by the group’s members, he is engagingly melodic over the opening of Fondue, a fine vehicle for improvisation, while Jefferson’s This for Doug is a lovely piece; and Maichen, by bassist Leroy Vinnegar, has a pretty, infectious melody, warmly embraced by McCann and the featured guest, Joe Pass, whose lucid solos are among the highlights of the album, particularly his theme statement on Yours Is My Heart Alone. Ron Jefferson and Vinnegar are ideal accompanists.
The last three tracks feature the veteran blues singer and guitarist Bumble Bee Slim (aka. Amos Easton), one of the best loved bluesmen during the ‘30s. Accompanied by the Les McCann Ltd., these were part of an album titled “Back in Town!,” recorded by Slim in 1962, after a long period out of the studios, and they make a nice addition to this collection.
Featuring: Les McCann (p), Joe Pass (g), Leroy Vinnegar (b), Ron Jefferson (d), Bumble Bee Slim (added vcl)
