Otis Spann wird weithin als einer der größten Blues-Pianisten aller Zeiten anerkannt. Obwohl sich Spann bereits Mitte der 1940er Jahre in Chicago einen Namen gemacht hatte, bekam er erst 1960 die Gelegenheit, ein eigenes Album aufzunehmen.

»Otis Spann Is The Blues« ist nicht nur das erste Soloalbum, das Otis Spann je aufgenommen hat, sondern auch das erste Album, das für das junge New Yorker Label Candid Records aufgenommen wurde. Auf die beiden Musiker reduziert, stellt dieses großartige Set Spanns Stimme und Klavier in den Vordergrund.

Born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1930, Ornette Coleman began playing alto sax in 1944 and tenor soon after, and is almost entirely self-taught. From the beginning Coleman chose the path less traveled, concerning himself with pitch and melody and trying to extract qualities of the human voice with his horn. The result was a sound in jazz that no one had ever heard before, sparking the "free jazz" revolution, which soon became one of its major currents. Despite an early lack of comprehension over what Coleman was doing, the titles of his early albums suggest that Coleman himself knew exactly how his music would influence the jazz world (Tomorrow Is the Question, Something Else), it was just a question of time. This, Coleman's second album, recorded in 1959 in Los Angeles was produced by one of Coleman's early supporters, Lester Koenig of the great Contemporary Records, and features Don Cherry on trumpet, Percy Heath / Red Mitchell on bass and Shelly Manne on drums. It was during this time that Coleman's career began to take off, thanks in part to John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet who got Coleman and Cherry spots at the School of Jazz in Lenox, Massachusetts. This same year Coleman recorded his watershed album "The Shape of Jazz to Come".
