Jazz / Jazz-Funk; Soul-Jazz
Recorded: Sep 25-27, 2005
Reuben Wilson - Hammond B3
Bernard Purdie - drums
Grant Green Jr. - guitar

This all-star date brings together three significant soul-jazz figures: organist Rueben Wilson, veteran session drummer Bernard Purdie, and guitarist Grant Green Jr. (the son of another famous jazz guitarist, Grant Green). Mixing the sound of classic soul-jazz --thanks in large part to Wilson's swirling Hammond B-3 sound--with a hard funk drive and a contemporary edge, GODFATHERS OF GROOVE links the past to the present across nine excellent tracks that will thrill old and new groove fans alike. |
