Willis Jackson • The Gator Horn



Review by Scott Yanow
Virtually all of tenor saxophonist Willis "Gator" Jackson's albums for Muse in the 1970s (and fortunately, there are many of them) are well worth picking up. Jackson's basic tenor always contained plenty of soul, the potential of exploding, and an attractive warm sound. For this fine set, Gator alternates between romps (some of which are funky) and ballads ("You've Changed" and "This Is Always"). Excellent support is contributed by organist Carl Wilson, guitarist Boogaloo Joe Jones, bassist Dud Bascomb, drummer Yusef Ali, and Buddy Caldwell on conga.

Revisión por Scott Yanow
Prácticamente todos los álbumes del saxofonista tenor Willis "Gator" Jackson para Muse en la década de 1970 (y, afortunadamente, hay muchos de ellos) bien valen la pena. El tenor básico de Jackson siempre contenía un montón de alma, el potencial de explosión y un sonido cálido y atractivo. Para este conjunto fino, Gator alterna entre romps (algunos de los cuales son funky) y baladas ("Has cambiado" y "Esto es siempre"). El organista Carl Wilson, el guitarrista Boogaloo Joe Jones, el bajista Dud Bascomb, el baterista Yusef Ali y Buddy Caldwell en la conga aportan un excelente apoyo.
