In Session - Diary Of A Chicago Bluesman 1953-1960 2CD

The popular 'In Session' series continues with this excellent 43 track double-disc set of Otis Spann's sessions that he cut in Chicago between 1953 and 1956 along with live performances at Newport and his legendary first LP release Otis Spann is the Blues.
This wonderful collection kicks off with Muddy Waters and of course includes two of his greatest hits Mad Love and Hoochie Coochie Man and then Otis takes us through a plethora of fine bluesmen: Howlin' Wolf, Junior Wells, Little Walter, Bo Diddley, Sonny Boy Williamson, Chuck Berry and John Lee Hooker.
In the pantheon of great Chicago blues pianists, Otis Spann stands head and shoulders above most of the competition and this double-CD is another must have in the ever growing In Session blues series.
Accompanying booklet includes fully detailed liner notes.
