Les McCann: Layers (Atlantic)
John Swenson, Zoo World, 9 May 1974
LES McCANN can do no wrong as the bluesy boss purveyor of R&B piano — he easily out-funks every pretender who shows his face and manages to consistently surround himself with different commercial formulae that make his career interesting to follow. His one stumbling block has been his fascination with electronics — [they] give him a sound-distorting device and he turns into a frenzied madman, a kid run amuck in a toy shop.
