| “ | A classic little album that's every bit as groovy as its cover -- served up by vibist Dave Pike, and one of the first true expressions of his talents! The set's a standout early American date that predates Pike's later experiments for MPS -- done in a great blend of soul jazz and some tighter Atlantic Records influences -- all served up by a hip group of players that includes Billy Butler on guitar, Clark Terry and Marty Sheller on trumpets, and Grady Tate on drums -- plus Herbie Hancock making a rare appearance on organ! There's a great little bounce to most numbers -- not really funk, but a blend of soul instrumental and more contemporary jazz styles -- in a way that takes a Blue Note groove more towards the jukebox audience. Titles include "When I'm Gone", "Devilette", "Sweet Tater Pie", "Blind Man Blind Man", and "Sunny". ~ Dusty Groove America | ” |
