"Boogaloo" Joe Jones - Introducing the Psychedelic Soul Jazz Guitar of Joe Jones / My Fire! More of the Psychedelic Soul Jazz Guitar of Joe Jones

2011 European CD collection.

Both albums, from the vaults of Prestige Records (and originally subtitled Introducing The Psychedelic Soul Jazz Guitar Of, Prestige 7557, and More of The Psychedelic Soul Jazz Guitar Of, Prestige 7617), sound great which ever format you prefer them on. The material is a similar mix to the previous release: Jones' originals {Right Now, Ivan The Terrible), timeless blues grooves (St James Infirmary), jazz tunes (Nat Adderley's Games) and popular songs of the time (1968), including Donovan's There Is A Mountain, Sony Bono's The Beat Goes On (also used as a jazz vehicle by Gabor Szabo) and The Door's Light My Fire. The fine bands include bassist Ron Carter and pianist Harold Mabern (who also contributes the composition For Big Hat).
