The 1967 Chicken Fat is a legendary funk/soul instrumental masterpiece from Impulse Records. Guitarist Mel Brown, who played with Sonny Boy Williamson and Etta James, leads a stellar group of session musicians linked to Mingus, Gaye, and Gillespie. Arranged largely by Oliver Nelson, the album captures the vibrant energy of late ’60s Los Angeles with a soulful, grooving vibe. AAA mastered from original analog tapes and cut live by Kevin Gray, Chicken Fat is a must-hear classic that won’t leave your turntable.
