Description:
"Never A Dull Moment! (Live from Coast to Coast 196" is a historically rich live jazz CD by pianist, vocalist and bandleader Les McCann, released by the archival label Resonance. The album captures McCann in his prime on stage across different U.S. venues in the 1960s, when his blend of soulful jazz, blues-drenched grooves and gospel-tinged improvisation was electrifying club audiences from coast to coast. Expect expansive live versions characterized by earthy piano riffs, call-and-response phrasing, tight rhythm-section interplay and an atmosphere that makes you feel seated right in front of the bandstand. This release focuses on the immediacy and spontaneity of McCann's concerts: extended solos, dynamic tempo changes and audience reactions are preserved in vivid detail, giving the set the feel of a time capsule from a golden era of live jazz.
The CD is curated with an ear for narrative flow: from driving, up-tempo numbers with funky undercurrents to slower, more introspective pieces, the track sequence is designed to showcase McCann's wide emotional and stylistic range. The sound restoration is handled with care typical for Resonance releases, presenting these archival recordings with as much warmth and clarity as the original sources allow, while retaining the raw character of a live club environment. Extensive liner notes (where included) typically provide background on the performance dates, venues and players involved, helping listeners place the music in its historical and cultural context and enhancing the experience for both long-time fans and newcomers.
Les McCann is recognized as one of the key figures in soul jazz, celebrated for his earthy touch, powerful sense of swing and a vocal style deeply rooted in blues and gospel. Rising to prominence in the late 1950s and 1960s, he became known for highly energetic live performances and for bridging the gap between jazz, R&B and what would later be called funk. Over the decades, McCann's recordings and collaborations have had a lasting influence on pianists and producers alike, and his most iconic tracks have been sampled and reinterpreted in contemporary music, underlining his continued relevance in modern jazz and soul circles. This live collection from the 1960s presents him in the setting that many fans consider his most natural habitat: on stage, feeding off the energy of the crowd.
Resonance is a label widely respected for its carefully produced archival jazz releases, with a strong focus on previously unreleased or hard-to-find live and studio recordings. The company is known for close cooperation with artists' estates, meticulous audio restoration and thoughtfully produced packaging that often includes essays, rare photographs and historical documentation. With projects like this Les McCann live CD, Resonance aims not only to satisfy collectors but also to preserve important chapters of jazz history for future generations. The result is a release that combines musical excitement with documentary value, making this CD a compelling addition to any serious jazz library.
