This special release contains 30 studio tracks, including a wide
selection of those overlooked 45s and seminal works Mac Rebennack made
as a composer, producer, arranger and performer for different local
labels, between 1958 and 1962. While some of the tracks were cut under
his own name, on others he used pseudonyms such as Little Mac, and Drits
& Dravy. Some of the songs were taped at sessions led by the likes
of Big Boy Myles, The Ends, Sugar Boy Crawford, Chuck Carbo, and Ronnie
Barron, among others. A number of these tracks feature fabulous session
players from the Crescent City scene, such as saxophonists Lee Allen
& Alvin “Red” Tyler, and drummer Earl Palmer. These early works form
the building blocks of Mac Rebennack’s incomparable musical legacy. That wonderful "mash-up" of black music that epitomises New Orleans! and a smattering of NORTHERN tracks to keep the dance fans happy...incredible N.O. Gem!

Thanks for such a great review of early tracks
Great Review Thank you AMM
Great compilation of Mac's early career, as a sideman to many of the then better known rnb artists in NO. Really does not lend a clue as to what was to shortly become his Nite Tripper persona, but great rnb cuts.
Many thanks for keeping Mac's spirit alive, AMM!
