Live at Ronnie Scott's Curtis Mayfield |
Released March 27, 2001
Recorded in 1988 at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in Soho, London, this wonderful Curtis Mayfield live set has a tremendous intimate feel, with Mayfield running through a handful of 1960s Impressions material as well as songs from his 1970s solo years. The warmth and wisdom of this innovative soulster is everywhere apparent, and his connection to the audience is obvious and direct. Particularly moving are a trio of Impressions' songs, "People Get Ready," "I'm So Proud," and "Move on Up." The disc concludes with a fairly lengthy backstage interview with Mayfield done by ex-Jam frontman Paul Weller. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
