Jack Wilkins

• DELUXE GATEFOLD LP

• 4 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

Beautiful work from guitarist Jack Wilkins -- maybe one of his cleanest, coolest records of all time -- and a set that really demonstrates the rich chromatic power of the young musician!

The album's a trio date -- with Mike Moore on electric and acoustic bass, and Bill Goodwin on drums and percussion -- a relatively light rhythm team that really lets Jack take the lead, especially on a few of the tracks where he hits a rhythmic pulse he never would match on later albums! The album features a brilliant version of Freddie Hubbard's classic "Red Clay" -- which begins nice and spare, with a great break on the intro, and a hard groove all the way through!
