Description

1969 Prestige First Pressing Stereo Release of Bandleader/Composer/Tenor Saxophonist Willis "Gator" Jackson Entitled Gator's Groove, Supervision by Bob Porter, Recording by Rudy Van Gelder, Liner Notes by Ed Love in March of 1969  - "An exciting tenor saxophonist whose honking and squeals (although influenced by Illinois Jacquet) were quite distinctive, Willis Jackson was also a strong improviser who sounded perfectly at home with organ groups. He played locally in Florida early on, until joining Cootie Williams (on and off during 1948-1955). His two-sided honking feature "Gator Tail" with "Cootie" (which earned Williams a lifelong nickname) was a hit in 1948, and he started recording as a leader in 1950. Jackson had a romantic and creative partnership with singer Ruth Brown for eight years, and often appeared on her recordings during this era. His extensive series of Prestige recordings (1959-1964) made him a big attraction on the organ circuit. Although generally overlooked by critics, Willis Jackson continued working steadily in the 1970s and '80s. In 1977, he recorded one of the finest albums of his career for Muse, Bar Wars." - Stunning Personnel for the Quintet Features Legendary Composer Willis Jackson on Tenor Saxophone and Gator Horn, Bill Jennings on Guitar, Jackie Ivory on Organ, Jerry Potter on Drums & Richard Landrum on Conga and Bongos! - Selections on Side 1 Are the Willis Jackson Penned Brother Ray, the Luiz Bonfa/Carl Sigman Standard a Day in the Life of a Fool(Jackson on Gator Horn)& Original Willis Jackson Composition This Is the Way I Feel at 9 Minutes 50 Seconds - Tracks for Side 2 Consist of the Willis Jackson/Bill Jennings Song Blue Jays at 7 Minutes 13 Seconds, the Wild Bill Davis/Dickie Thompson Classic Stolen Sweets and Dexter Gordon's Long Tall Dexter - Used Copy, Cover Very Good++, Record Very Good++ - Stereo Recording, Product Code PRST 7648 - California Residents Add 9.75% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
