Soul Fusion
Milt Jackson
From their first encounter in the late 1960s, Milt Jackson and Monty Alexander found musical compatibility that makes the title of this album absolutely appropriate. Whether teamed with veterans of Jackson’s vintage, as they often were with bassist Ray Brown and saxophonist Teddy Edwards, or here with Alexander’s contemporaries John Clayton and Jeff Hamilton, the results are soul and swing. In this 1977 collaboration, the two explore blues, ballads, bossa nova, and a choice item from the songbook of Stevie Wonder.
