Another quicky here. Reuben Wilson assembles an all-star cast of Grant Green, Lee Morgan, Idris Muhammad, and George Coleman for a pretty incredible boogaloo workout. "Hot Rod" is one of the best grooves of all time in Idris proves why hip hop couldn't have happened without him about 15 times on it.
Reuben doesn't get all that much credit but he was there for the heyday of boogaloo, he was and still is funky as hell, and his records and sidemen dates are all great. He still lives in NYC and still records lots of good albums, so don't sleep on him. Unfortunately the powers that be keep most of his classics out of print, like this one, so here it is folks, I'm doing my part to keep it in print.

wonderful music on this blog
many many thanks
Another sweet slice of funky funky Reuben. One of my favorite Blue Note album covers. This one has some smokin' highlights, but a few tunes are mailed in. Not Reuben's best, but still a goodie. Thanks.
truly a classic!

Nice, thanks for sharing. Wish the rip wasn't so scratchy, but then again, where else am I to find this music. Thanks again!
sorry about the scratchy rip - my set up ain't the hottest and this album is a little beat up, but it's the only copy i've got.
Avocado: sure thing, I'll happily post a little bit at some point about my research, thanks for asking. And so then what is yours?
Thanks for this one!
