50 years since The Allman Brothers Band released their first self-titled album, since we heard "Whipping Post" for the first time. Duane Allman was shown as the great guitarist he was, and together with his brother Gregg, the most interesting couple of American blues rock composers and performers by the end of the 1960's. The two brothers came to record only two studio albums together , but the seminal double live set "At Fillmore East" can be considered the best live recorded album in the history of pop music. The event has been collected by the Big Band Of Brothers through the edition of "A Jazz Celebration of the Allman Brothers Band", a spectacular tribute to the Florida band that includes a select collection of his most memorable compositions, all under the production of the drummer and versatile Mark Lanter, who has brought together an extraordinary combo of twenty-three musicians and has had the collaboration of Ruthie Foster and Marc Broussard singing in four songs. It's a good time to remember The Allman Brothers Band and this is more than an excellent album to do it.
