Mac (Aka Dr John) Rebennack - The Brightest Smile In Town - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. A lost solo piano record from the Night Tripper! Originally put to tape in '82 & '83 for the Clean Cuts tag, these tracks have remained unheard until now. Two numbers feature the doc's raspy growl while his solo piano navigates us through the rest of the train ride, past touches of blues, jazz, and foot stompin' boogie-woogie jive. It's the kind of magic that can only come from a dusty tape box. In 1981, Dr. John began recording his first of two solo piano albums. The InchnewInch performances featured on this are of the same quality as the music on Dr. John Plays Mac Rebennack and The Brightest Smile In Town. His left hand creates a three-note rhythmic pattern that forms the foundation for the performance while his right soulfully plays the melody and then builds off of it in the tradition of the New Orleans piano blues masters. In other songs, it begins as a nostalgic and heartfelt ballad, picking up steam during the performance and switching moods several times before returning to where it began. While it is a real shame that he would never again record a full album of unaccompanied solos (Dr. John enjoyed leading a band too much), the of Frankie & Johnny gives one an additional opportunity to discover just how brilliant and spirited a pianist Mac Rebennack was during his colorful career.

In memoriam. Mac Rebennack November 20th 1941 - June 6th 2019. Executive producer Malcolm Mills met Mac in 2012 to hear from the horse's mouth why he wanted to make this record, and told him 'Louis Armstrong visited me in a dream and all he said was 'do my music your way' - that's all he said. That was the whole fuckin' dream'. So that was that. Who could refuse? Mac was pleased to have his dream realised and pass the torch, fuelled by his own funknology, because he was born and grew up in the 3rd Ward of New Orleans - exactly where Louis Armstrong lit the flame. This limited-edition vinyl album is released on the first anniversary of Mac's passing to commemorate the lives of Mac Rebennack and Louis Armstrong without both of whom, the path of our musical discovery would have been very poorly lit.
