Willis Jackson - Funky Reggae - Full Album (1974)


Playing Next: Toshiyuki Miyama & His New Herd Masahiko Sato ‎- Yamataifu (邪馬台賦) (1972) FULL ALBUM


An exciting tenor saxophonist whose honking and squeals (although influenced by Illinois Jacquet) were quite distinctive, Willis Jackson was also a strong improviser who sounded perfectly at home with organ groups.

Born in Miami, Florida, on April 25, 1932, Jackson played locally in Florida early on, until joining Cootie Williams (on and off during 1948-1955). His two-sided honking feature \"Gator Tail\" with \"Cootie\" (which earned Williams a lifelong nickname) was a hit in 1948, and he started recording as a leader in 1950.
