Mike Bloomfield Al Kooper Stephen Stills 1st Press OZ LP Super sessions EX ‘68
Original OZ LP released in 1968 on the Orange & Black CBS REcords Label. Cat: SBP 233592.
This record came from a collection in absolutely stunning condition, many not played at all and most only played a few times at best.
As the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) had done a year earlier, Super Session (1968) initially ushered in several new phases in rock & roll's concurrent transformation. In the space of months, the soundscape of rock shifted radically from short, danceable pop songs to comparatively longer works with more attention to technical and musical subtleties. Enter the unlikely all-star triumvirate of Al Kooper (piano/organ/ondioline/vocals/guitars), Mike Bloomfield (guitar), and Stephen Stills (guitar) all of whom were concurrently "on hiatus" from their most recent engagements. Kooper had just split after masterminding the groundbreaking Child Is Father to the Man (1968) version of Blood, Sweat & Tears. Bloomfield was fresh from a stint with the likewise brass-driven Electric Flag, while Stills was late of Buffalo Springfield and still a few weeks away from a full-time commitment to David Crosby and Graham Nash. Although the trio never actually performed together, the long-player was notable for idiosyncratically featuring one side led by the team of Kooper/Bloomfield and the other by Kooper/Stills. The band is fleshed out with the powerful rhythm section of Harvey Brooks (bass) and Eddie Hoh (drums) as well as Barry Goldberg (electric piano) on "Albert's Shuffle" and "Stop." The Chicago blues contingency of Bloomfield, Brooks, and Goldberg provide a perfect outlet for the three Kooper/Bloomfield originals the first of which commences the project with the languid and groovy "Albert's Shuffle."
Tracks : Albert’s shuffle/ Stop/ Man’s temptation/ His holy modal majesty/ Really/ It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry/ Season of the witch/ You don’t love me/ Harvey’s tune.
