Reuben Wilson - Blue Mode - 80th LP

180 Gram Vinyl, Blue Note 80 Vinyl Reissue Series

For his third Blue Note album, Blue Mode (1969), organist Reuben Wilson kept it right in the pocket and laid down one of the funkiest soul-jazz workouts of the late '60s. Produced by Francis Wolff, the date features an airtight quartet with tenor saxophonist John Manning, guitarist Melvin Sparks and drummer Tommy Derrick, mixing grooving Wilson originals with covers of "Knock on Wood" and "Twenty-Five Miles."
