from Oannes *

Νοεμβριανός και ο οργανίστας, πιανίστας και συνθέτης Booker T Jones. Θρυλικός για το ιδιαίτερό του στιλ, τις συνεργασίες με διάσημους καλλιτέχνες και φυσικά τους Booker T & The M.G’.s, τη μπάντα της οποίας ηγήθηκε στη διάρκεια των ‘60s (BTJ – organ, piano, Steve Cropper – guitar, Lewis Steinberg / Donald “Duck” Dunn – bass, Al Jackson – drums).
Τον ακούμε σε ένα κομμμάτι από το σόλο άλμπουμ του Evergreen του 1974, και τρία ακόμα με τους MG’s – όλα original συνθέσεις πλην του τελευταίου.

✻

Organist, pianist and composer Booker T Jones is also a November – born. Legendary for his unique style, his collaborations with famous artists and of course Booker T & The M.G.’s the band he led throughout the ’60s (BTJ – organ, piano, Steve Cropper – guitar, Lewis Steinberg / Donald “Duck” Dunn – bass, Al Jackson – drums).
We hear him on one track from his 1974 solo album Evergreen, and three more with MG’s – all original compositions except the last one.

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
