The Bright Mississippi Allen Toussaint SKU: 7559798277 Barcode: 075597982770 36.00 £36.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Nonesuch Released Date: 4th July 2016 Buying Format: 2LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Fans of legendary New Orleans musician Allen Toussaint may at first be surprised that, for his first album in over a decade, the producer, songwriter, and pianist would choose to forgo recording his own stellar material in favour of a collection of cover tunes. The songs here aren’t just any songs, however, but a rich selection of Big Easy standards, as interpreted by one of the city’s most gifted musical sons. The resulting Joe Henry-produced gumbo draws upon all of Toussaint’s myriad musical experiences, but often focuses on his incredibly soulful piano playing. Even when other instruments take the lead (the trumpet on “A Dear Old Southland,” the clarinet on “Just a Closer Walk With Thee”) it’s the master’s sublimely sensitive ivory tickling that stands out. Recorded live in the studio with minimal instrumentation, and Henry’s magic touch behind the mixing desk, the album captures Allen Toussaint at his most comfortable and intimate.
