Les McCann- LesMcCann Plays The Hits-LP

Les McCann Plays the Hits from 1966 captures the pianist’s deft ability to reimagine contemporary popular songs through a jazz lens. His collaboration with bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Booker T. Robinson adds a solid rhythmic foundation that complements McCann’s warm, soulful touch. Produced by Jerry Ross for the Limelight label, this album offers a snapshot of McCann’s versatility as he navigates familiar melodies with a fresh swing and improvisational flair. It’s a record where jazz meets the charts without losing its own voice—proof that even hits can wear a new suit. This 1966 mono pressing brings a vintage feel to the music, presenting the sound as it was originally intended during that era. If you’re interested in a snapshot of mid-60s jazz interpretation with a lineup of skilled musicians, this copy fits the bill without any need for a magnifying glass to find the grooves.
