Description
1971 Prestige Green Label Stereo Release of Bandleader/Composer/Guitar Master Ivan "Boogaloo Joe" Jones Entitled What It Is, Produced by Bob Porter, Distributed by Fantasy Records - "Not to be confused with Philly Joe Jones, guitarist Ivan Joseph "Boogaloo Joe" Jones recorded several albums in a soul-jazz vein for Prestige in the late '60s and early '70s. In addition to leading his own group for recording purposes, Jones also played with Wild Bill Davis, Houston Person, and Willis Jackson. His own dates are solid, if unexceptional groove jazz, leaving plenty of space for the saxes and organ, as well as his own bop/R&B hybrid style. Rusty Bryant, Charles Earland, and ace soul and jazz session drummer Bernard Purdie are among the sidemen also featured on Boogaloo's albums." - "Using the same personnel as he did on his fifth Prestige album (1970s No Way!), Jones offers more good-natured funk-soul-jazz on this 1971 session. After getting a couple of contemporary pop covers (of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" and Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move") out of the way, it's mostly Jones originals. On his slower moments, as in "Fadin'" and Sonny Thompson's "Let Them Talk," he shows the influence of straight jazz players such as Wes Montgomery; "What It Is" and "Inside Job" are more cut-to-the-chase funk riffs. Jones has his cult following, but as soul-jazz goes, this is kind of run of the mill: good for background, but not captivating foreground listening. This has been combined with his previous album, No Way!, on the single-disc CD reissue Legends of Acid Jazz: Boogaloo Joe Jones, Vol. 2." - Sensational Personnel for the Sextet Features Legendary Composer Boogaloo Joe Jones on Guitar, the Amazing Grover Washington Jr. on Tenor Saxophone, Butch Cornell on Organ, Jimmy Lewis on Fender Bass, the Brilliant Bernard Purdie on Drums and Buddy Caldwell on Conga & Bongos! - Selections on Side 1 Are the Bill Withers Standard Ain't no Sunshine, the Carole King Classic I Feel the Earth Move and the Boogaloo Joe Jones Penned Fadin' at & 7 Minutes Even - Tracks for Side 2 Consist of Original Boogaloo Joe Jones Composition What It Is at 7 Minutes Even, the Sonny Thompson Song Let Them Talk and the Boogaloo Joe Jones Penned Inside Job - Used Copy, Front Cover Has a Medium Surface Ring, Record Has some very Light Marks - Stereo Recording, Product Code 10035 - California Residents Add 10.25% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
