'60​/​'61

by Memphis Slim

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    2 CD Set. "An amazingly prolific artist who brought a brisk air of urban sophistication to his frequently stunning presentation, John "Peter" Chatman -- better known as Memphis Slim -- ranks as one of the greatest blues pianists of all time.”

    Recorded In London & Paris During 1960 & 1961

    Disc One focuses on Slim’s full-throated vibrato-less shout with instrumental backing from Alexis Korner and Stan Greig. Originally only released in Europe this is the first physical releases for these recordings in North America.

    Disc Two features a completely solo piano session recorded in Paris, July 1961. At this point Slim permanently moved to Paris, where recording and touring possibilities seemed limitless and the veteran pianist was treated with the respect too often denied even African-American blues stars at home back then.

    Includes unlimited streaming of '60/'61 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
