PRST 10035-B2 RE VAN GELDER
US original glossy green label fantasy pressing, Van Gelder mastering.
Just a word before I continue: SELL your BGP reissues. They sound like garbage compared to these original issues. They were made from terrible early generation digital transfers. The Van gelder mastering from original tapes, by comparison, cooks!
I'm a big fan of Jone's recordings, even if the reviewer below seems not to be, he has achieved his cult status for a good reason. His effortless ability to attain 'the groove'. This LP is so good it inspired the Luv N' Hight' compilation title of the same name... no coincidence that Jones features there too.
Review by Richie Unterberger (Allmusic.com)
Using the same personnel as he did on his fifth Prestige album (1970s No Way!), Jones offers more good-natured funk-soul-jazz on this 1971 session. After getting a couple of contemporary pop covers (of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" and Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move") out of the way, it's mostly Jones originals. On his slower moments, as in "Fadin'" and Sonny Thompson's "Let Them Talk," he shows the influence of straight jazz players such as Wes Montgomery; "What It Is" and "Inside Job" are more cut-to-the-chase funk riffs. Jones has his cult following, but as soul-jazz goes, this is kind of run of the mill: good for background, but not captivating foreground listening.
I'm not really a record dealer - this is more of a hobby for me.
