Javon Jackson: Now
ByEnlisting the support of organist Dr. Lonnie Smith and guitarist David Gilmore, Jackson takes Now through a powerful R&B groove that recalls the heyday of the guitar/organ combo made famous in the 1960s. Jackson updates the traditional sound, however, with several originals, several pop songs, and some funk. His big tenor washes over the soulful sound of his quintet with a sultry façade that boils over from within. Jackson has always been a master of restraint. He churns with emotion, but makes sure that things remain comfortable and fixed in their groove. Along with guitar and organ, his soulful tenor wraps the room in smoke while providing plenty of fun along the way. wraps the room in smoke while providing plenty of fun along the way.
