Mr Spann was a flat out genius. Otis Spann was pursuing a solo career when he died and Muddy Waters was devastated on his passing

you are so correct. i had the great fortune of friendship with him his last few years.

If all alarm clocks could play this every workday morning, the world would be a hell of a lot nicer place...

I want to cry, hear this music. Why, oh why Lord allow you to go at such an early age.

God got a lot of room in His mansion, He loves pianos. Come on down you're the next player .And so it is.

an absolute genius with a heart of gold.

If you can't get into this, you shouldn't be listening to "Blues Piano" This touches my SOUL!

I've been into blues now for some years. Otis Spann, in my opinion, was the greatest blues pianist that ever put a finger to a piano key.

++eldorado62 Certainly a great, though I'd hate to say who's the greatest, and this is a great track. For enormously emotion-charged, and apparently simple, piano solo blues, Jimmy Yancey's "How Long Blues" (the slow take without his wife singing) and "Mournful Blues" are the greatest tracks of all. I'm not saying that Yancey was as great an all round player as Spann. It's just those two tracks in particular of his get me right in the pit of the stomach every time I play them, and are up there as numbers 1 and 2. This track comes near it for me, and I'll play it often as well. Pinetop Perkins, of course, is another piano great whom I'm sure you like as well.

Opinions are like asses.

MASTER , MASTER , BLUES ALWAYS BLUES ,

He is definitely one of the very Great Blues Piano players. Thank you for sharing with us.

I have two LP:s with Otis Span - absolute top stuff. I think he passed away already at age 37 or something like that. This is blues but he also did incredible boogie woogies. Wish I could put this in better words to give him appropriate credit - English is not my native language.

nothing more to say . . . . my all time favourite . . .

Love his voice...,there is a smile in his voice

Gran Maestro del Blues!!!!!!!!!!

If you like this, you need to check out one of his mentors, Big Maceo Merriweather. That will show you some evolution of blues piano.

The baseline and overall mood is similar to Clarence Lofton’s slower blues performances.

The greatest Blues pianist ever, and one of Blues most underrated singers too.
