Editorial Reviews

Stunningly repackaged, remastered, and featuring new liner notes by leading jazz writers, the Warner Jazz Masters Series includes best sellers as well as rare, sought-after gems. "Talk To The People" preaches earthily in the funky soul/jazz and R&B languages of the time. Having gone completely over to the Rhodes electric piano and Hohner clavinet, McCann became a fervent convert, indeed, he and Stevie Wonder were the funky-butt champs of the clavinet in the 1970s, and he could beat on them with the rhythmic snap of a conga drummer. ‘Shamading’ may be the funkiest, hip-shaking thing Les has ever recorded; the cool, swaggering funkathon ‘North Carolina’ runs a close second; and the best of the vocals is a gritty rendition of Marvin Gaye's ‘What's Going On’.

This album brings jazzy hip movements to your soul and relays the message of communication of it times. Vocals are good but the sounds that come from his electric keyboard are awesome. He talks to his listeners......

'"She's Here" was the theme music for WKTK-FM, *the* cool "album-oriented rock" station in Baltimore in the early 1970's. Hearing it again transports me back to many hazy late nights...
