Les McCann - Jazz Crusaders :

‘All Blues’

(Wayne Henderson, trombone; Wilton Felder, tenor saxophone; Joe Sample, piano; McCann, electric piano; Miles Davis, composer)

What’s that supposed to be? That ain’t nothin’. They don’t know what to do with it - you either play it bluesy or you play it on the scale. You don’t just play flat notes. I didn’t write it to play flat notes on - you know, like minor thirds. Either you play a whole chord against it, or else . . . but don’t try to play it like you’d play, ah, Walkin’ The Dog. You know what I mean?

Rate it? How can I rate that?

Editor’s note : The Jazz Crusaders later became simply The Crusaders, and went on to pop stardom in the late seventies / early eighties culminating in the hit song ‘StreetLife’.
