McCann, Les - Spanish Onions.

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON PACIFIC JAZZ 1964.

Pacific ST 20097 made in USA. Vinyl NM. Cover NM.

 Born in 1935 in Lexington, Kentucky, Les is a self-taught musician (other than the four piano lessons he took as a youth from a nice old lady who lived in the neighborhood). In the early fifties, he left the South and joined the Navy. While stationed in California, he took every opportunity to visit San Francisco's jazz clubs, where he first experienced Miles Davis and his music. His first major influence though, was pianist Erroll Garner, who shared the same exuberance and bursting vocalizations. After his discharge from the military, McCann moved to Los Angeles and formed a trio, Les McCann Ltd., which became a favorite on the Sun Strip in the late fifties. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_McCann
