Willis Jackson • Really Groovin'

Reviews:

A killer batch of tracks from Willis Jackson – recorded in a slightly different format than some of his other work for Prestige! The album features Gatortail in two different piano-based quartets - one with the obscure Jimmy Neely on the keys, the other with the great Richard Wyands riffing things up. Juan Amalbert of the Latin Jazz Quintet plays conga on a number of tracks - giving them that rolling groove that you'd often hear with Gene Ammons or Lou Donaldson during the time, and Jackson more than does his job of matching those two in adapting to the slight Latin tinge of the format. Titles include "Sweet Peter Charleston", "A Twist of The Blues", "Oatmeal", and "He Said She Said I Said". ~ Dusty Groove America.

"A fine, soulful jazz date, mostly slow blues and ballads, from one of the kings of honky-tonk saxophone. Jackson's smooth, Ben Webster-ish tenor playing is seldom surprising, but always satisfying" ~ by Joel Roberts, AMG.

Opiniones:
Un lote de pistas asesinas de Willis Jackson, grabadas en un formato ligeramente diferente al de algunos de sus otros trabajos para Prestige. El álbum presenta a Gatortail en dos diferentes cuartetos basados ​​en piano: uno con el oscuro Jimmy Neely en las teclas, el otro con el gran Richard Wyands arriesgando las cosas. Juan Amalbert, del Latin Jazz Quintet, toca la conga en una serie de pistas, lo que les proporciona el ritmo que solía escuchar con Gene Ammons o Lou Donaldson durante el tiempo, y Jackson hace más que su trabajo de igualar a los dos para adaptarse a El ligero tinte latino del formato. Los títulos incluyen "Sweet Peter Charleston", "A Twist of The Blues", "Avena" y "Él dijo que ella dijo que yo dije". ~ Dusty Groove America.

"Una buena y conmovedora cita de jazz, en su mayoría blues y baladas lentas, de uno de los reyes del saxofón honky-tonk. La interpretación suave del tenor de Ben Webster-ish de Jackson rara vez es sorprendente, pero siempre satisfactoria", de Joel Roberts, AMG.
