Editorial Reviews

King Curtis was an R&B saxophonist who had numerous charting albums in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was tragically stabbed to death in 1971 at the early age of 37. One of his albums featured another great musician who died young, Duane Allman. That album is Instant Groove, which reached # 160 on the Billboard album charts in 1969.

This is a classic King Curtis Pop-Soul instrumental album from 1969. Curtis always had top-notch musicians on his albums. This one has the added bonus of Duane Allman on a few cuts. Well-played and soulful. Get it!

This is pure artistry. Not only is King Curtis at his prime, but we also hear Duane Allman jammin' away on half of the album as well. Highly recommended!!!
