Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The Perfect Companion to The Festival Album - The Jazz Crusaders. AWESOME JAZZ!.......2005-07-24

If you have been trying to get a feel for this album from the
sample audio clips, you'll completely miss Joe's breathtaking
straight ahead jazz soloing since the clips never get to
those sections. Be ready for a surprise.

From Mike Hennesey's Notes within the album cover -

"On this album, recorded by Joe when the Crusaders were
still the Jazz Crusaders, there are no concessions to
rock music - and yet the music is totally accessible,
it is certainly not without its complexities, but it
is direct music played with powerful conviction and a
determined avoidance of superficiality."

Absolutely true. His soloing in every piece displays
lightening technique while remaining melodious and
catchy, his spontaneous chord punches and unexpected
harmonies reveal the funkiness of what would later
become a part of his trademark keyboard style.
Within it all you hear the influences of Fats Waller,
Art Tatum, Bud Powell, Oscar Peterson. His ideas are
adventurous but totally appealing, and the album
is a gem from the beginning to the end. DON'T PASS
THIS ONE UP!!
