King Curtis - Soul Of King Curtis - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Searing sax instrumentals from the great King Curtis - plus a lot more too - as this package not only brings together the King's records as a leader for Enjoy Records, but also digs up lots of performances as a sideman for that famous Harlem record tag too! The grooves here are raw and ready, nice and tight, and done with a nitty gritty style that might have been funk if the cuts were recorded a few years later - but which definitely had a bit influence on countless soul instrumental modes to come, both in the rhythms and in King's wicked lead work on saxophone! The package features some of the best instrumental singles that Curtis cut for Enjoy Records, from his Soul Twist album and other singles - and CD2 also features material that Curtis cut for Enjoy as a soloist on records for other artists! CD1 features 18 tracks that include InchSoul TwistInch, InchTwisting TimeInch, InchThe Monkey ShoutInch, InchHot PotatoInch, InchMidnight BlueInch, InchBeatnick HoedownInch, InchKing Neptune's GuitarInch, InchWobble TwistInch, InchWhat'd I Say (parts 1 & 2)Inch, and InchBig DipperInch.
