About
The Soul Explosion is an album by jazz saxophonist Illinois Jacquet which was recorded in 1969 and released on the Prestige label. Scott Yanow of Allmusic wrote: "The great tenor Illinois Jacquet is joined by a ten-piece group that includes trumpeter Joe Newman and Milt Buckner on piano and organ for this 1969 Prestige studio session which has been reissued on CD by the OJC serie. Jacquet is in prime form, particularly on "The Soul Explosion" (which benefits from a Jimmy Mundy arrangement), a definitive "After Hours" and a previously unissued version of "Still King." This blues-based set is full of soul but often swings quite hard with the focus on Jacquet's exciting tenor throughout." Personnel: Illinois Jacquet – tenor saxophone Russell Jacquet, Joe Newman, Ernie Royal – trumpet Matthew Gee – trombone Frank Foster – tenor saxophone Cecil Payne – baritone saxophone Milt Buckner – organ, piano, arranger Wally Richardson – guitar Al Lucas – ba, electric bass Al Foster – drums .
