If you want to know what happened to Booker T and The MGs, check out this album by Rolf Thofte/tp, Andreas Toftemark/ts, Mads Norgaard/g, Simon Eskildsen/key, Anton Langebaek/b and David Besiakov/dr. The sextet sounds like they were weaned on STAX sessions, with soul strutting on “La Chief”, deep tenor sax blueswailing on “At Least The Sky Is Blue” and a humming organ on the funky “Mamako Convention Center”. Where’s Otis Redding?
