Hootin' N' Tootin'
Fred Jackson
Blue Note Tone Poet Series edition
The brawny tenor saxophonist Fred Jackson first appeared on a Blue Note record with his standout sideman performance on organist Baby Face Willette's Face to Face in 1961 and would later add his full-throttled sound to Big John Patton's Blue Note albums Along Came John and The Way I Feel. In 1962, Jackson recorded his own leader debut for the label with Hootin' 'N Tootin', a deeply soulful set of hot-blooded originals performed by a muscular four-piece band with guitarist Willie Jones, drummer Wilbert Hogan, and organist Earl Van Dyke, who would later become part of Motown house band the Funk Brothers.
Blue Note's Tone Poet Series represents the pinnacle of jazz reissues for anyone who appreciates pristine audio. Mastered by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) from the original analog master tapes. Pressed on 180g audiophile vinyl at RTI and presented in deluxe tip-on jackets.
