Review:
A great album from Willis Jackson — a real sleeper, and with a very groovy feel! Willis smokes with an organ combo that has Butch Cornell at the keys, and which also features Vince Corrao on guitar and Franklyn Robinson on trumpet. The tracks are a mix of originals and Beatles covers (believe it or not!), and Willis is in that playful mid-60s mode, where he’s working with so much profiency on the tenor that he can take some groovy chances on the solos. The rhythm’s got a great Cadet soul jazz vibe to it — and the album fits nicely with some of Jack McDuff’s work on the same label. Titles include “Yesterday”, “Hard Day’s Night”, “Goose Pimples”, and “Doin’ The Mudcat”.
