Jackie Ivory • Live at Jack's Bar

Recorded live at Jack's Bar in San Francisco (established in 1932 and still going at the time of this release), Hammond B3 organist Jackie Ivory and his quartet do R&B, soul, and blues with some smooth jazz thrown in, just to let you know they can do it. Borrowing judiciously from Ben E. King, Junior Parker, and Johnny "Hammond" Smith, Ivory does as pleading a version of "Stand by Me" as one is ever likely to hear. Matters get very soulful as Booker T. & the MG's are recalled with a groovy, funky R&B version of "Green Onions," with the slangy guitar of Charles Garner and the honking Hal Singer-like sax of Edward Surgest all riding atop Ivory's B3. Garner gets in some well-placed vocals during the session. The slow dancers get a chance with "Saving All My Love for You," with Surgest's erotic sax setting the tone. But irrespective of what's being played, Ivory and group are having a fun time doing it. They have a way to make everything come out on the upbeat -- happy and carefree. Jack's Bar must be a place where people expect to unwind, quaff a few, listen to some fine music, take a few turns around the dancefloor, and come away feeling good. ~ Dave Nathan

Grabado en vivo en el Jack's Bar de San Francisco (establecido en 1932 y todavía en marcha en el momento de este lanzamiento), el organista de Hammond B3 Jackie Ivory y su cuarteto hacen R&B, soul y blues con algo de smooth jazz, sólo para que sepas que pueden hacerlo. Tomando prestado juiciosamente de Ben E. King, Junior Parker y Johnny "Hammond" Smith, Ivory hace una versión de "Stand by Me" como uno puede escuchar. Las cosas se ponen muy conmovedoras cuando Booker T. y los MG son recordados con una versión R&B de "Green Onions", con la guitarra de Charles Garner y el saxo de Edward Surgest, todos montados en el B3 de Ivory. Garner consigue algunas voces bien colocadas durante la sesión. Los bailarines lentos tienen una oportunidad con "Saving All My Love for You", con el saxo erótico de Surgest marcando el tono. Pero independientemente de lo que se toque, Ivory y el grupo se divierten haciéndolo. Tienen una forma de hacer que todo salga con optimismo... feliz y sin preocupaciones. Jack's Bar debe ser un lugar donde la gente espera relajarse, beber un poco, escuchar buena música, dar unas vueltas por la pista de baile y salir sintiéndose bien. ~ Dave Nathan
