Description
An influence on everyone from Masters At Work to Radiohead, Charles Stepneys production for the Chess labels captured the spirit of the era by mixing soul, jazz, electronics, composed music and a touch of psychedelia, all arranged brilliantly and produced to an incredibly high standard. Shockingly there has never been a compilation
dedicated to this area of his work, something that we are rectifying with Eternal Journey.
Stepney was a jobbing arranger when Marshall Chess recruited him to co-produce his new project Rotary Connection, which allowed him to realise his symphonic productions. With the success of their debut album, Stepney was recruited to work on many of the labels most important artists including Ramsey Lewis, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf and The Dells. He also took on his own projects working with Phil Upchurch, Terry Callier and others.
