POUNDING FUNKY PIANO, BUMPING BASS, AND TOPPED WITH SOULFUL VOCALS - PURE ENJOY

This is one of the rarest Boogie Jazz Records ever! The private press album includes the Rare Groove classic “Searchin For The Soul.”

His early career follows It follows in the wake of the infectiously funky, blues-based keyboard music exemplified by hard-bop paragons Horace Silver and Bobby Timmons in the 50s and 60s. Not surprisingly, McClerkin listened to those pianists while growing up on Chicago’s south-side; he also heard plenty of Ahmad Jamal (who then lived and worked in Chicago), and Jamal’s trademark airiness occasionally works its way into the mix as well.
