Review by Fabio Destri

King Curtis, the legendary saxophonist, has left an indelible mark on the music industry with his album Old Gold. The album, released in 1968, is a testament to Curtis' exceptional musicianship and his ability to blend different genres of music seamlessly.

The album features a collection of classic tunes, including "Soul Serenade," "Memphis Soul Stew," and "Ode to Billie Joe," among others. Curtis' saxophone playing is nothing short of phenomenal, and his ability to evoke emotion and energy through his music is truly awe-inspiring.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Spanish Harlem," which features Curtis' soulful playing, backed by a groovy rhythm section. The song is a beautiful tribute to the vibrant and colorful neighborhood of Spanish Harlem, and Curtis' saxophone captures the essence of the place perfectly.

Another standout track is "A Whiter Shade of Pale," a hauntingly beautiful rendition of the classic Procol Harum tune. Curtis' saxophone takes center stage in this track, showcasing his ability to create a mood and atmosphere through his playing.
