Cornell Dupree,Richard Tee/NY,USA 1982

In 1982, the year after the New York group of talented craftsmen, Staff, disintegrated (or was it disbanded?), Cornell Dupree, known by nicknames such as “Telecaster Master” and “Mr. Telecaster,” collaborated with Richard Tee on a groovy The ultimate live performance with a horn section that was in a good mood from beginning to end is now available for the first time! ! In 1982, just after Dupree’s staff had ceased to be active, he performed at 7th Avenue South in New York, with Dupree’s best buddy Richard Tee as the lead, along with Alex, one of the Blake brothers, Sonny Rollins, and Pharoah Sanders. , Wynton Marsalis, Chaka Khan, and many others. He is also one of the Blake brothers and is well known for his sessions with all genres such as Bob Mintzer and Curtis Blow. The Dupree Group, the most powerful group with a funky horn corps consisting of famous drummer Brian Blake, Gene Feinberg on saxophone, Ellen Seeling on trumpet, and Rory Bienenfeld on trombone, will always be glued to every corner. We now have a complete recording of over 70 minutes of Vee’s happy live performance on the highest quality stereo soundboard that has been carefully mastered by the label! ! From the opening song, “Don’t Hold Back,” Dupree plays his Telecaster with a unique sense of time and rhythm that has been cultivated over a long period of time, and the loosely spaced phrases are irresistible! His most famous phrases pop out in the following songs, “40 OZS” and “Just for Stuff,” as well as the popular song “Coast to Coast,” which was later nominated for a Grammy Award and was released six years before the album was released. , “Southern Comfort,” which features plenty of blues guitar in the style of fellow Texas giant Johnny Guitar Watson, “Tea,” dedicated to his ally Richard, and “How Long Will It Last,” the song from his time as a staff member, are relaxing. He casually showed off his sharp techniques that were full of tension. There are also cool member introductions along the way. The last number goes by in a blink of an eye, with a parade of funky rock’n’roll songs such as “Shake Your Body” and a cheerful number, and this is probably the player who can make the guitar sing to this extent among all guitarists. Dupree and Richard Tee, who I would like to say are irresistible, are in full bloom showing their true potential, and the Blake brothers have an outstanding combination of the most groovy rhythm section, with an outstanding sharpness that reminds me of the soul revue of yesteryear. We promise great content that the horn section, staff, and fans won’t want to miss! Live at Seventh Avenue South,New York,NY 1982 SBD – EX 71 min 1. Don’t Hold Back 2. 40 Ozs 3. Just for Stuff 4.
