Jazz / Post-Bop
Recorded: Jan 2001
Soul Manifesto is a sharp departure from the advanced post-bop of Jones' previous Blue Note outing, The Undiscovered Few. Embracing his early funk and soul-jazz roots, Jones keeps it simple and relentlessly groovy this time, bringing on board organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, bassist Lonnie Plaxico (playing electric throughout), drummer Idris Muhammad, and, for the first time together, alto saxophonists Arthur Blythe and Maceo Parker. Jones leans on extended one-chord vamps for "Groove Bone" and "Soul Manifesto," giving the assembled players time to establish a deep funk pocket. "One Turnip Green" and "Soup Bone" are swinging takes on rhythm changes and the blues, respectively; the latter finds Smith unleashing his full artillery on organ. Covers include Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine," Mal Waldron's classic ballad "Soul Eyes," and the instantly recognizable "Soul Makossa." Overall, despite the big names and the strong playing, the concept is better than execution. Monotony sets in a few too many times.

Rodney Jones
Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Aug 30, 1956 in New Haven, CT
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Fusion, Post-Bop
An underrated cool-toned guitarist who sounds at his best in straight-ahead settings, Rodney Jones had his highest visibility during his period with Dizzy Gillespie (1976-1979), when he was in his early twenties. Jones had previously worked with Jaki Byard and recorded with Chico Hamilton, and he would follow the association with Gillespie by working for a time as Lena Horne's accompanist. As a leader, Jones has recorded for Timeless (in 1978 and 1981), the RR label, and in the late '80s for Minor Music.
