Sadly, Les McCann, one of the greatest, reportedly, passed at the age of 88. Peace be with you, My Dear Nubian Brother. Thanks for the memories. Much Love to you and those that you have touched.
BORING. ADIOS. 2 much talk, 2 little musicianship. Run-of-the-mill/jill/kill soul jazz gig. Self-congratulatory, repetitious & lacking innovation. (Congas should be banned,,bongos,, also).
