The cut that Alan played was "Soul Explosion". This set lasts a good 9 minutes and that in itself fully justifies the price of the CD. Accompanied by great musicians with outstanding arrangements. I am a fan of tenor sax and the B3 organ which was masterfully played by Milt Buckner. Wally Richardsons work on the guitar blended perfectly with Jacquets "old school" style. "Still King" which is a previously unissued arrangement is simply fantastic!!
The music world lost a genius and heaven gained another ax just last year (2004).
I give it 5 STARS!! This CD is a must have for the jazz novice who is looking to find the roots of soul music and the instrumental work that later showed up on the early MOTOWN label.
Normally I never plug any internet sales room, but Amazon has some excellent jazz. Their shipping department deserves kudo's
