Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A solid, swinging session.......2002-04-05

Once again Jimmy McGriff assembled a group of first rate musicians to play soulful jazz. Stan's shuffle is a bright opener with everybody grooving (Ronnie Cuber is especially impressive on this one). David Newman preaches on the tenor on the Paul Mitchell's superb Hard Times. The standard Just in time has been very played but Jimmy McGriff's rendition is fresh as the song is done like a bossa nova. Listen also like McGriff and drummer Don Wiliams swing on the rocking City lights. This is even better than his original 1980 version for the Jam label !

5 out of 5 stars This is the real stuff.......2001-09-29

This is for sure the real stuff... this is soul jazz in the traditon of Jimmy Smith. One of the blues here is called Sermonizing which refer to Jimmy Smith and his legendary recording "THE SERMON" from 1957. I always liked McGriff.. when he was younger he might have had more aggressive sound and attack. today his sound is more mellow But still...he puts you in the groove right away and his basslines on the B3 is FAT and bouncing.I am especially touched by the first song on this CD."Stans Shuffle" a tune wtitten by the late master Stanley Turrentine .. and I suppose this is a tribute to Stanley since he died a month prior to this recording in 2000, David "Fathead" Newman plays wonderfully here..No wonder since he belongs to the same school as Stanley did.. where an extreme blues feel was an essential thing combined with a fat sound.Melvin Sparks is one of the most effective soul jazz guitarists and this CD is again a proof of that.
If you buy this CD.. you will not get any surprises BUT and hour of soul jazz played by the masters of this music.
