More Info:
Joining Eddie Taylor and Jody Williams (JASMCD3070 & JASMCD3100) in Jasmine's popular "In Session" series comes this excellent 43 track 2CD set of Otis Spann's sessions that he cut in Chicago between 1953 and 1956 along with live performances at Newport and his legendary first LP release. "Otis Spann is the Blues". This wonderful set kicks off with Muddy Waters and of course includes two of his greatest hits "Mad Love" and "Hoochie Coochie Man" and then Otis' takes us through a plethora of fine bluesmen: Howlin' Wolf, Junior Wells, Little Walter, Bo Diddley, Sonny Boy Williamson, Chuck Berry and John Lee Hooker. In the pantheon of great Chicago blues pianists, Otis Spann stands head and shoulders above most of the competition and this CD is another must have in Jasmine's ever growing blues series.
