"WRINKLES" Classic and Rare Chess Instrumentals

What we have with this potpourri of Chess recordings is a series of ingenious variations on the popular instrumental format.

A little blues, a little pop, a little jazz, a lot of fun. Not always categorizable, and different virtually from track to track. However, all of these pieces share a feeling of time and place, a sense of earthiness that prevades the bulk of Chess recordings of the '50s and early '60s, coupled with a hearty raucousness that creates instant mental images of smokey after-hours jams.
