Album Notes & Community Reviews

Documenting a pivotal residency at the famous Chicago folk club, this energetic session features the towering pianist bridging the gap between urban R&B and the burgeoning folk revival. 'At the Gate of Horn' heavily showcases his incredibly rolling, boogie-woogie keyboard style and booming, authoritative vocal delivery. Accompanied by a sturdy rhythm section, the record perfectly captures the infectious, deeply swinging atmosphere of his celebrated live performances.
