During the seventies, the rich baritone voice of Joe Lee could regularly be heard at the jazz performance loft he operated in New York City's NoHo district known as the Ladies' Fort at No.2 Bond Street, just one block from the Studio Rivbea run by saxophonist Sam Rivers. Bond Street became a center of creative music in the city and as such attracted the attention of Japanese producer and Why Not label owner Masahiko Yuh. The session was done in N.Y. in 1976 with members of Joe Lee's regular band including the outstanding saxophonist Monty Waters and Japanese guitarist Shirohi Mori. First time on CD of Joe Lee's most iconic recording.

One of the '70s most striking jazz vocalists, Joe Lee Wilson blended a strong, stirring baritone voice and good delivery with a swinging style and savvy selection of material. The results made him quite popular for a few years, especially on college campuses in the Northeast. Wilson studied classical singing, and attended Los Angeles City College in the '50s, where he studied jazz. He toured the West Coast and Mexico as a jazz vocalist in the late '50s and moved to New York in 1962. Wilson worked with Sonny Rollins, Lee Morgan, Miles Davis, Pharoah Sanders and Jackie McLean in the '60s, then in 1971 and 1972 sang with Archie Shepp. His dynamic lead vocals on such Shepp albums as Things Have Got To Change, and Attica Blues won Wilson recognition, as did his recordings as a leader and performances with Sunny Murray, Mtume, and Billy Gault. Wilson operated a loft in New York, the Ladies Fort, from 1973 to 1978, and appeared at the 1973 Newport in New York and 1975 Live Loft festivals. He recorded with Clifford Jordan in 1977, then moved to London in 1978. Wilson toured Europe, performed in London clubs and did some periodic New York dates, but never regained his earlier momentum. Currently none of Wilson's albums are available on CD, though Shepp's Attica Blues was reissued in 1993.
