Legends Of Acid Jazz: Boogaloo Joe Jones, Vol. 1
Boogaloo Joe Jones
Known as "Joe" to his friends, guitarist Ivan Joseph Jones was nicknamed "Boogaloo" not only to help distinguish him from the drummers Papa Jo Jones and Philly Joe Jones but also because of his unique, rhythmically propulsive way of picking. Informed in equal parts by blues and bop, Boogaloo Joe's fast-fingered, decidedly staccato lines fit fatback funk beats like hand in glove, particularly when they're being laid down by drum groove master Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. Also throwing grease into the frying pan on these two rare albums are saxophonist Rusty Bryant and organists Sonny Phillips and Charles Earland.
