252: “Gone On And Get That Church” by Les McCann
January 25, 2012 Leave a comment
For Uncle Funk, Being in Church is being with the ones he loves and taking a few solid moments to Think About What’s Important…
Properly executed, it is followed by fried chicken and a leisurely deuce, while Uncle Funk sorts out his afternoon.
Pianist Les McCann was born in 1935 in Lexington, Kentucky. “Gone On And Get That Church” was originally released on In San Francisco (1961) but is now more readily available as a track on Stardust Records’ Essential Jazz Masters (2011), a compilation of some of McCann’s highlight tracks. The album crackles and sizzles from beginning to end. Listen to it some kind of way using the links below.
Enjoy.
Oh, and then, Consider Your Happiness And Be Thankful! That’s Church, too!!
