Otis Spann - Biography and Recommendations (755 words)
One of the finest pianist's of post-war blues, Otis Spann was inspired to play the piano at the age of eight by local pianist Friday Ford; the chronology of Spann's early years has become somewhat confused by his penchant for giving conflicting information in interviews.
Otis Spann's recording career under his own name began in 1954 with a dynamic single on the Checker label, supposedly recorded after an all night party, coupling the hoarsely hollered 'It Must Have Been The Devil' with the frantic instrumental 'Five Spot'.
Four years were to elapse between some 1956 unreleased Chess sessions and the time Otis Spann was to record in his own right again; when he did it was to be for ventures with distinctly differing objectives.
