Never A Dull Moment! - Live from Coast to Coast (1966-1967) is a previously unissued collection of live recordings of unsung piano and vocal icon Les McCann captured at the Penthouse jazz club in Seattle from January 27 and February 3 & 10, 1966 with Stan Gilbert, Paul Humphrey and Tony Bazley; also including recordings by Resonance founder and co-president George Klabin from the Village Vanguard on July 16, 1967 with Leroy Vinnegar and Frank Severino. This is an official release in cooperation with Les McCann. Transferred from the original tape reels and mastered for vinyl by the legendary Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering Studios.
The limited-edition 180-gram 3-LP edition (and deluxe 3-CD set) includes an extensive insert with rare photographs by Lee Tanner, Jean-Pierre Leloir, Christian Rose and others; two sets of liner notes - by music journalist A. Scott Galloway and author/historian Pat Thomas (Listen Whitey! The Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965-1975), who both contributed to McCann's photography book Invitation to Openness: The Jazz & Soul Photography of Les McCann 1960-1980; plus quotes and statements from Roberta Flack, Monty Alexander, Roger Kellaway, Emmet Cohen and others. Pressed at Le Vinylist.

RIP Les.
Looks like another fantastic release by Resonance records, wow!
Was Les from Kentucky? Someone please let me know.
Les Mccann is from Lexington, Kentucky. Check out his photography book "Invitation To Openness" where he goes into it a bit. In the documentary/concert film Soul To Soul, he mentions it.
