This record will never win a prize, will never go gold, will never be a hit. At least, a competent music magazine wrote about the concert, from which this recording is drawn: „James Booker toured London, Germany and Switzerland Oct 18 – Dec 9. His concert in Leipzig (German Democratic Repuplic) was one of the best he gave.“
This is now 17 years past and much has changed. Booker is dead – he died on November 8 1983 at the Charity Hospital in his hometown of New Orleans – and this German Democratic Republic, with all its strange institutions and facilities, doesn’t exist anymore. It survived this great piano player by 6 years, almost on the day. Taking account of the psychological-sociological aspect, there is a lot to be added, before this record fulfills its claim to be a audio document with a historical background. ~Lily
