The origins of soul jazz, where the passion of tenor intertwines with the aroma of organ.
This quartet work featuring organist Shirley Scott fuses light swing with funky tenor, conveying the energy of pre-club jazz.
The heat rising from "Have Horn, Will Blow" is proof enough of the title's meaning. Lockjaw's tenor is dynamic, yet humor permeates every note. Shirley Scott's organ supports the rhythm while amplifying the groove, establishing the prototype of soul jazz here. Rudy Van Gelder's recording captures the sound in three dimensions, creating a sense of realism like a live performance. This is an important work that effortlessly blends elements of blues and swing and led the organ jazz boom that began in the 1960s.
