King/ Sunnyland Slim Curtis - King Curtis & Sunnyland Slim (LP)

This essential release presents the blues masterwork Slim’s Shout (released in 1961). The album was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in his studio at Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and features Slim as a leader, accompanied by Curtis and other jazz session players from the New York City scene, such as organist Robert Banks, bassist Leonard Gaskin, and drummer **Belton Evans. Highlights include ‘The Devil Is a Busy Man,’ ’Shake It,’ and ’It’s You Baby,’ as well as the remake of ’Sunnyland Special’ – one of Slim’s most celebrated tunes. The 2 bonus tracks contained on this collector’s LP vinyl limited edition, ’Everytime I Get to Drinkin’ and an earlier reading of ’Brownskin Woman’ belong to Chicago Blues Session.
