From 1966-77, organist
Milt Buckner recorded often for European labels. This particular set (originally cut for the Black & Blue label) was one of the very few to be made available domestically. It came out on Inner City's Classic Jazz subsidiary, and it is a bit of an oddity.
Buckner, through overdubbing, performs on organ, piano and vibes (which he rarely played), and even takes an eccentric vocal on "Green Onions." To confuse matters, pianist
Andre Persiany is also heard on some numbers, along with blues guitarist
Roy Gaines, bassist
Roland Lobligeois and drummer
Panama Francis. The music itself is much less complicated, swing standards plus
Buckner's "Pour Toutes Mes Soeurs" and "Milt's Boogie." Fun good-time music that will be difficult to find.
