Search - Melvin Jackson :: Funky Skull

Amplified bass, electronic effects, and more - all served up in one of the headiest funk albums of the 60s. Eddie Harris' bassman Melvin Jackson works here in a Cadet Records-like session -- with horns from members of the AACM (including Lester Bowie, Leo Smith, and Roscoe Mitchell), guitar from Phil Upchurch, vocals from The Sound Of Feeling, and lots of funky rhythms on the stretched-out tracks. A unique record that's in the same territory as early Earth Wind & Fire, funky Ramsey Lewis, and Charles Stepney at Cadet - soulful, sophisticated, and totally righteous!
