Burnin' (Live At Freddie Jett's Pied Piper, L.A.) by Esther Phillips, released by Atlantic in 1970.

"With her lubricious, naturally sardonic high vibrato, this modern blues singer is well equipped to carry Dinah Washington's torch, and a club date with the likes of Chuck Rainey and Cornell Dupree is the perfect place for her to shine her light—even the horn overdubs sound hot."

–Review of Burnin' in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981)[8]
