Otis Spann's Chicago Blues


Otis Spann's Chicago Blues is an album by blues pianist and vocalist Otis Spann recorded in Chicago at two sessions in 1965 and released by the Testament label.

Reception

AllMusic reviewer Richie Unterberger stated "divided between solo piano performances and pieces with a full band... The variation in approach means that this isn't the most consistent Spann album, and the material and performances don't rank among his best either, although they're reasonably solid".
