Product Description

CD Description
George Bruno "Zoot" Money, a familiar figure on swinging London's mid-'60s club circuit, had brought his Big Roll Band up from their native Bournemouth to London after a short stint moonlighting with Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated. Based at the Flamingo, a Soho club renowned for its wild all-nighters, the band played a cooking mixture of soul, jazz and R&B, peppered with the flamboyant antics of front man Zoot. Nurturing a passion for Ray Charles, the Hammond organ, and the odd alcoholic beverage, Money was a popular live attraction with the UK's "in-crowd".
These live recordings takenfrom 1966 perfectly illustrate what the Big Roll Band was all about. James Brown's "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and Lee Dorsey's "People Gonna Talk" were typical crowd-pleasers. T-Bone Walker's "Stormy Monday Blues" and Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar", sung here by American ex-pat soulster Herbie Goins and band member Paul Williams respectively, would allow Zoot to rest his vocal chords. The boss himself would demonstrate his instrumental prowess on Booker T's "Boot-Leg". This was the essence of the UK club scene in 1966.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Was There, 20 May 2003
By Alan J Milton (Luton, Beds United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is a classic 60's live recording of the UK Soul Scene of which there are very few, Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames - Live at the Flamingo and The Yardbirds - Five Live Yardbirds being the exceptions.
From the opening James Brown - I Feel Good, the entire album generates the atmosphere of the club scene at the time and which will never be re-created by today's so called Rave Generation DJ/Club sound.
Zoot Money is still working and whilst not covering all the tracks on the album in his current act, he is still sounds the same on the track Big Time Operator one of the few commercial tracks which slip away from the mostly R & B/Soul spread on the rest of album.
Recordings like this are few and far between and fans old and new should snap up this opportunity to listen to one the great but relatively unknown stalwards of the 60's RnB era.
