An integral member of the nonpareil Muddy Waters band of the 1950s and '60s, pianist Otis Spann took
his sweet time in launching a full-fledged solo career. But his own discography is a satisfying one nonetheless,
offering ample proof as to why so many aficionados considered him then and now Chicago's leading
post-war blues pianist. Spann played on most of Waters' classic Chess waxings between 1953 and 1969,
his rippling 88s providing the drive on Waters' seminal 1960 live version of "Got My Mojo Working"
(cut at the prestigious Newport Jazz Festival, where Spann dazzled
the assembled throng with some sensational storming boogies)

In January of 1969, British power blues quintet Fleetwood Mac came to Chess Records studios to jam
with the likes of Willie Dixon, S.P. Leary, Honeyboy Edwards, and longtime Muddy Waters' pianist Otis Spann.
The sessions were so rich and fruitful that three-fifths of the Mac (specifically bassist John McVie
and guitarists Peter Green and Danny Kirwin) impressed Spann enough to cut a record with them
at the same sessions. While the classic "Country Girl" and a seven-minute "Someday Soon Baby"
(which features a lengthy intro from Green on which Spann can be heard barely off mic telling the rest
of the band to "let him play on") ended up on the Mac's Blues Jam at Chess double set: remaining cuts
included "Dig You" and "Walkin'" and are a near perfect match of Spann's exciting, emotive singing
and the Mac's youthful muscle. The Biggest Thing Since Colossus was released
on Mac manager/producer/strongman Mike Vernon's London-based Blue Horizon label...(AllMusic)
