The addition of jazz pianist
Skip Rose gave a new dimension to the ensemble sound, and provided a perfect foil to
Charlie's own soloing -- especially on the re-take of "Cristo Redentor," extended to 11 minutes, shifting to double-time in spots.
Rose's instrumental, "A Nice Day for Something," is a welcome change of pace, and
Musselwhite's "Blue Feeling Today" compares favorably to fine covers of Little Walter and
Fenton Robinson tunes. ~ Dan Forte
