Fun House

by Reuben Wilson

Overview

A survivor of the 1960s, Reuben Wilson's organ style is an outgrowth of that of Jimmy Smith. He performs a variety of funky and bluesy originals, R&B tunes, and basic material. Wilson's interplay with guitarist Melvin Sparks is consistently impressive, altoist Cochemea Gastelum adds some variety to the music, and drummer Mike Clark is an asset. The band is tight and brings back the sound of the classic organ combo, even though it utilizes an alto rather than the usual tenor. This is fun music, easily recommended to fans of soul-jazz. ~ Scott Yanow
