Les McCann - River High, River Low (1976/2011) [Official Digital Download 24-bit/192kHz]

"River High, River Low" finds Les McCann marrying together sounds of jazz and soul. McCann’s raw and emotional vocals, riveting melodies and inspired grooves can be heard on tracks including “Woman Come Home”, “A Hand From the Crowd” and “I’ve Been Thinking About My Problems”. The funk-infused album was one of Billboard’s Top 200 Jazz albums in 1976 and is essential for any jazz collection.

With River High, River Low Les McCann completes his transformation from jazz to soul. While elements of fusion still creep in, this is first and foremost a straight-up funk album that shines the spotlight on deep, hard-hitting grooves and McCann's gritty vocals. While Stevie Wonder served as a reference point on previous efforts, the cosmic mind-funkery of the Parliament-Funkadelic collective seeps into cuts like "I've Been Thinking About My Problems" and "Woman Come Home." McCann is a master of rippling keyboard melodies and evocatively cinematic textures, and even if his vocals lack technical finesse, his passion and emotion carry the day. Jazz purists will recoil in disgust, but there's no denying the sheer vitality and energy of the music herein.
