Big Joe Turner, T-Bone Walker and Otis Spann: Super Black Blues
Bob Fisher, Cream, June 1975
IT'S TAKEN Phillips a long time to get around to issuing this superb album, probably the only genuine spontaneous blues jam ever commited to wax. The stars are Big Joe Turner, T-Bone Walker Otis Spann and George 'Harmonica' Smith plus Ron Brown (bass), Arthur Wright (guitar), Ernie Watts (tenor), Paul Humphrey (drums).
