King Curtis - Live At Smalls Paradise '1966/2013

Tracks list

 A great little live set from King Curtis – cut in his local turf of
Harlem, with a very loose sort of feel and nice gritty groove – which
lets both King and his combo get even freer and funkier than usual! Theres an
edge here you dont usually get on the studio work from Curtis – or at
least the material youd find on other 60s albums from the same stretch –
which often just featured sax instrumental reworkings of pop hits. Instead, this
cooker has Kings horn working in a cool combo with keyboards from Paul Griffin
and guitar from Cornell Dupree – really all coming together as a tight
funk act, and more in the mode that youd find on some of Kings overlooked
b-sides from his Atco singles. Titles include Philly Dog, Tough Talk, Soul
Theme, Something On Your Mind, and Pots & Pans. © 1996-2020, Dusty Groove,
