Our Take

Ah, James Booker, the Ivory Emperor himself. This collection of sides from 1954 to 1962 is a delightful journey through the musical world of one of New Orleans' most eccentric pianists.

From the moment the boisterous keys of "Pixie" kick in, you know you're in for a wild ride. Booker's unique blend of jazz, R&B, and soul is on full display here, with each track showcasing his virtuosity and flair for the dramatic.

Tracks like "Cool Turkey" and "Gonzo" are a testament to Booker's improvisational skills, where he effortlessly weaves in and out of complex chord progressions with the finesse of a seasoned pro.

But it's not all fast-paced jams - ballads like "Slow Down" and "Something Stupid" show a softer side to the Ivory Emperor, highlighting his soulful vocals and emotive piano playing.

Overall, The Ivory Emperor 1954-1962 sides is a must-listen for any fan of classic New Orleans music. Booker's infectious energy and undeniable talent shine through on every track, making this collection a true gem in the world of jazz and R&B. Don't miss out on this one - it's a real toe-tapper!
