Music Single : Compared To What – Les McCann & Eddie Harris

Now how’s this for one of the coolest songs ever? I could listen to the opening groove all night and then Eddie adds some sax, then Les takes the vocals and it takes off..  Man does that sound good.  Leroy Vinnegar, bass and Dean Donald, drums lay down the great beat.  Les adds some swinging piano, vocals and hip lyrics. Harris, sax and Benny Bailey, trumpet take the solos.  Fantastic. Dig this Gene McDaniel’s tune.

This song swings big time.  It’s one of CB’s go to lines “compared to what?”. I like saying that. Put it on and catch the groove.  Sock it to me Les.  This just has so much coolness.  Now that’s a piece of music!
