Shirley Scott - Queen of the Organ '1964 [1993]

Tracks list

This CD reissue brings back all of the music previously put out on the two-LP
set The Great Live Sessions with the exception of one number (Shirleys Shuffle)
left out due to lack of space; with over 70 minutes of music, one cannot
complain too much about the omission. Overall, this is a pretty definitive live
set featuring organist Shirley Scott, tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine,
bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Otis Candy Finch, one of the great soul-jazz
combos of the 1960s.

In addition to a swinging Just In Time and Duke Ellingtons Squeeze Me, But
Please Dont Tease Me, the set mostly features obscurities and originals, plus a
surprisingly effective version of the Beatles Cant Buy Me Love. The musicians
sound quite heated and consistently inspired. Highly recommended.
