DESCRIPTION

TRACK LIST

American jazz pianist Les McCann, was born in Lexington, Kentucky. He grew up in a musical family of four, a brother and three sisters, with most of McCann's family singing in church choirs. His father was a fan of jazz music and his mother was known to hum opera tunes around the house. As a youth, he played the tuba and drums and performed in his school's marching band. As a pianist, McCann was largely self-taught. He later explained he only received piano lessons for a few weeks as a six-year-old before his teacher died. 
This collection features eight original albums by Les McCann, all in remastered quality, and all spanning the golden years of McCann’s musical career, 1960 – 1963, when the great man’s musical potency was at its most pronounced. Featuring too accompanying musicians who made up his esteem Trio, and other notables with whom he recorded and performed.
A perfect starting place for those wishing to familiarise themselves with this maverick musician’s finest work, the compilation additionally functions as the ultimate collection for jazz fans everywhere.
