BOOKER T. JONES / BOOKER T. & THE M.G.’s

Νοεμβριανός και ο οργανίστας, πιανίστας και συνθέτης Booker T Jones. Θρυλικός για το στιλ του, τις συνεργασίες με διάσημους καλλιτέχνες και φυσικά τους Booker T & The M.G’.s, τη μπάντα της οποίας ηγήθηκε στη διάρκεια των ‘60s (BTJ – organ, piano, Steve Cropper – guitar, Lewis Steinberg / Donald “Duck” Dunn – bass, Al Jackson – drums).
Τον ακούμε σε ένα κομμμάτι από το σόλο άλμπουμ του
Evergreen του 1974, και τρία ακόμα με τους MG’s – όλα original συνθέσεις, πλην του τελευταίου.

Organist, pianist and composer
Booker T Jones is also a November – born. Legendary for his style, his collaborations with famous artists and of course Booker T & The M.G.’s the band he led throughout the ’60s (BTJ – organ, piano, Steve Cropper – guitar, Lewis Steinberg / Donald “Duck” Dunn – bass, Al Jackson – drums).
We hear him on one track from his 1974 solo album
Evergreen, and three more with MG’s – all original compositions, except the last one.

    I remember “Green Onions” very well. It got a lot of air play in the US.

      Same here. That’s why it wasn’t included here. I particularly like the rag. Thank you!

    His music is FAB! He recently played at a club in London (UK anyway). The BBC interviewed him in the club. He was at his keyboard. Wonderful. Thank you for these pieces!
