Soul Jazz from the fifties, sixties and seventies: FAMILY PARTY. Today the leader, tomorrow the sideman, that’s jazz.
In the past, there were not as many American musicians as there are today, which is why they were recording together in the studio all the time. Especially for independent labels, such as Blue Note, Prestige, Atlantic, etc. During tonight’s groovy family party, you will hear George Benson, Red Holloway, Big John Patton, Larry Young and Thornel Schwartz, among others.
