One of the last albums that
King Curtis ever recorded – and an unusual session of mostly blues-based material, recorded at the Montreux Jazz Fest with
Champion Jack Dupree! In a way, the setting really unlocks some of
Dupree's more jazz-oriented modes – in a group that features
Curtis on tenor and alto,
Jack on piano and vocals, and rhythm from Cornell
Dupree on guitar, Jerry Jemmott on bass, and Oliver
Jackson on drums! Things start out rootsy, but really take off as the record moves on – and the setting actually gives
Curtis a chance to stretch out a lot more than most of his previous recordings for Atlantic. Titles include "Get With It", "Sneaky Pete", "Junker's Blues", "Everything's Gonna Be Alright", and "I'm Having Fun".
