H5N1 veteran of over 2,500 recording sessions, guitarist Cornell Dupree worked nearly prolifically inwards R&B as well as blues, exactly he was every bit at dwelling identify inwards jazz, especially funky fusion as well as soul-jazz. Dupree was born inwards Fort Worth, TX, inwards 1942, as well as past times the historic catamenia of twenty was playing inwards King Curtis' R&B group. He became a session instrumentalist before long after, playing on Brook Benton's "Rainy Night inwards Georgia," as good as records past times stars similar Lou Rawls, Paul Simon, Barbra Streisand, Harry Belafonte, Lena Horne, Roberta Flack, Joe Cocker, Michael Bolton, Mariah Carey, as well as countless others. Dupree was as good a fellow member of Aretha Franklin's touring band from 1967-1976, as well as during that fourth dimension as good became a presence on many jazz-funk recordings, the form that would abide by favor alongside rare groove as well as acid jazz fans inwards the years to come.

After existence on over 2500 albums (according to the liner notes) Cornell Dupree's solo CD's aren't e'er completely riveting - exactly this i is a keeper. Not quite as spontaneous as "Uncle Funky" - which I mean value is his best effort; this i has lots of that "concise adn soulful" materials that he did in, well,.. Stuff. H5N1 dandy means to explore Dupree's after work!
