Description
The 1967 Impulse Records legendary funk/soul instrumental masterpiece album Chicken Fat. If you haven't heard Chicken Fat yet, get ready, because the LP won't leave your turntable until your jaw stops hitting the floor.
Sourced from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Gray. All-analog process (AAA). Initially working as a guitar player for such greats as Sonny Boy Williamson and Etta James, Impulse Records eventually offered Mel Brown the chance to record his own material. Recorded in 1967 in Hollywood, CA for the Impulse record label, Chicken Fat saw Brown amass a group of session musicians who had played with Charles Mingus, Marvin Gaye, and Dizzy Gillespie.
Much of the album was arranged by Oliver Nelson, who worked with Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Jimmy Smith and more. His touch is felt all over the record and helps solidify the journey. These recording sessions also reflected the Sunset Strip and the energy of late-'60s Los Angeles so incredibly, you can almost hear the go-go boots hit the floor to dance til they drop.
