Melvin Jackson - Funky Skull - Verve By Request LP

Verve By Request Series, 180g Vinyl LP

On his sole album as a leader, bassist Melvin Jackson — a veteran of the Eddie Harris band, which is honored here with two Harris originals — bows, plucks, and plugs his upright bass into a Maestro G-2 filter box, a Boomerang, an Echoplex, and an Ampeg amp. The result is soulful, psychedelic, and of course funky: at once one of the grooviest and most avant-garde albums you'll ever hear.
