Customer Reviews:

VERY NICE FIND. FUNK or JAZZ you decide........2003-03-19

This is one of the funkiest albums I ever heard. I own a battery of jazz albums and funk albums, Black Talk is one of the greatest unsung cross overs. Easily one of my favorites.

High School 1969.......2000-05-23

I remember when I was in high school ...twelth grade. My mother and I agreed on nothing but this album as they were called back then. It was the only album I could blast full volume and she would groove to the music with me. She's gone now but I tell you what... everytime I play this cd I think of her. God bless Charles Earland for bringing her and I together on common ground...a funky jazz organ player.

Funk and Jazz Collide..and They Both Win.......2000-04-01

OK, so I backed into this CD (thanks, Fritz the Cat), but hey, better late than never. Some excellent playing all around - great ensemble work by all concerned. The only down bit is "Aquarius", which on occasion sounds a bit too Holiday Inn for me. Any ill will is erased by "More Today Than Yesterday", which is one of the few songs over 11 minutes that you'll wish was longer. If you're jazz and want to try funk, or if you're funk and want to try jazz, you could do a lot worse than this CD.

Funky&a Classic.......2000-02-20

WOW! this disc is Blazing hot to this day.his ORGAN style of playing ain't no joke.this is a classic disc.it sounds fresher now than it did back when it came out.it's Funky,Bluesy&alot of Bangin'Groove.between him Jimmy Smith,Jimmy McGriff,&Lonnie Listen SMith you get Genius.Charles Earland went one step ahead with this Gem.

THE MIGHTY BURNER IS A FUNKY SOUL JAZZ CLASSIC !.......1999-12-03

This is an incredible album, not because of Earland's genius as a soloist, but because of his distinct ability to BURN... While many of his contemporaries were still stuck in the '50s with that grindy Jimmy Smith sound.... Earland forged ahead with an equally earthy, but more "dance floor" appropriate sound... built from the funky Jimmy McGriff school, but going far beyond mere blues. - - His sweat inducing energetic version of MORE TODAY THAN YESTERDAY is now a Jazz organ staple (as well as staple of his live performances) - - Songs from this album also appear on the soundtrack to Fritz the Cat - - Everything on the album is funky.. the type that club DJs love to get their hands on and sample - - This is one album that I'd have to reccomend not only to Jazzers, but folks into Greyboy All Stars, Albert Collins, MMW, Funk Inc. even the Meters (only this is the REAL thing - - you'll see what I mean when you get it.) - - If you like this, I suggest checking out LEON SPENCER (Greatest Hits), a bit of REUBEN WILSON, and JOHN PATTON's MINOR SWING.
