The Junior Mance Touch



I took this picture when I was packing up my place a few weeks ago. This is a killer album. Funky piano jazz, like an early Ramsey Lewis record. Think this was like $5.00 at a used book store. Definitely got this even though I never heard of this dude:

-LP from 1973
-Polydor
-That cover?

Automatic.

It's really great, beginning to end. The Junior Mance Touch, ladies and gentlemen! I'll digitize this bitch and pass it on to y'alls.

I took some classes w Junior at the New School. Aside from being a funky and bluesy piano player, he's a sweetheart. Got nothing but the upmost respect for the cat.
Does that LP have "hear me callin'" or some other track with that kind of title?

That cover is KILLER.
