Event Description
Anyone who wants a funky wallow in some extra-deep R&B/jazz grooves shouldn�t miss this soul supergroup. Cornell Dupree is in the front rank of Texas guitar slingers, with dramatic fretboard work, and jazzy-flavoured R&B style that was born deep in the blues. Keyboardist Les McCann, best known for his seminal Swiss Movement album from 1960, is the maestro of soul grooves, and he�s played with everyone from Ray Charles and Count Basie to saxmaster Stanley Turrentine. Today�s beat-mixers are sampling his classic tunes, turning a new generation onto his soulful artistry. Filling out the front-line is legendary saxophonist Ernie Watts, whose 30-year career has seen him featured on 500 recordings for such artists as Frank Zappa, Thelonious Monk, and Aretha Franklin. The blues-based Grammy-winning Watts is probably best known for his work with Charlie Haden and Quartet West. Together, these extraordinary musicians are going to give a master class in down-home soul. With Buddy Williams drums, and Gordon Edwards bass.
�Cornell Dupree works a nice groove � never settling down in any particular style, whether it�s fusion, jazz, funk, or soul� � allmusic.com
