For many the name King Curtis conjures up honking R&B classics like Soul Twist, Soul Serenade and Memphis Soul Stew or his unmistakable sax playing on soul classics by Aretha Franklin, The Coasters and Lavern Baker to name but a few. However, our four classic selections feature just one of his R&B flavoured albums namely ‘Have Tenor Sax, Will Blow’ which kicks off this four classic albums set. Here you will get a sense of how dynamic King Curtis was as a contemporary R&B artist. For our other three selections we have focussed on King Curtis, the jazz musician. After all he had always said he had grown up with the sound of Lester Young, Louis Jordan, Earl Bostic and Gene Ammons ringing in his ears! Take a look at the extraordinary line up of jazz giants performing on these classic albums… Nat Adderley (Little Brother), Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Oliver Jackson, Jimmy Forest, Oliver Nelson, George Duvivier, Sam Jones and Roy Haynes. Clearly this guy was taken seriously as a jazz musician as you will discover when you drop the needle on these classic recordings. Get ready to be impressed by the other side of King Curtis.
