After too long a gap, The Hot Box returns with tracks from recently released albums by Christian McBride, John Beasley, Chick Corea and the Cuban wonder Harold Lopez Nussa amongst others.
There’s an emphasis on big bands, with among others, selections from the “tribute” album “For Jimmy, Wes and Oliver” by Christian McBride.
On this edition I’d like to encourage you to some "HOME COOKIN'" to get rid of the Pandemic Blues and I’d like to give you some musical inspirations with my handpicked selection of tasty, spicy and soul feeding Jazz recordings created by Horace Silver, Clifford Brown, Lou Donaldson, Karrin Allyson, Cyrus Chestnut, Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, Tony Allen, Archie Shepp with Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath and Quincey Jones with the Sammy Nestico Orchestra among others.
This is a song that most people will know but not like this. Although the song is almost 90 years old and been covered by many great artists like Otis Redding and Percy Sledge, Bobby Mc definitely puts his own feel on the classic with some modern touches. Produced by Mat Leppanen and released in conjunction with the London based independent label 'The Animal Farm', Bobby Mc's warm tones flow through this soul classic. He's joined on the track by Irish Piano Virtuoso Podge Kilbride.
