Soul Jazz Spectrum
Friday nights from Midnight 'til 1 am (ET, US) on Jazz 90.1 in Rochester, NY & jazz901.org

Chuck Ingersoll, in hairier days, with soul jazz legend and former James Brown band leader Fred Wesley.
Jimmy Smith. Grant Green. Greyboy. Soulive. New Cool Collective. Radio Citizen. Liquid Soul. Stanton Moore. It's the soul jazz sound from back in the day to the present, every Friday night. Drawing on an extensive CD and vinyl collection, I program one in-the-pocket, movin', groovin' hour of funk and soul jazz from Midnight 'til 1 am (ET) on jazz901.org and Jazz 90.1 in Rochester, NY. It's where the groove survives and thrives.

If you enjoy organ trios and jazz that you can dance to, check out the Soul Jazz Spectrum. You can listen online via our streaming audio feed. Hear it Friday nights at 12 (ET) at www.jazz901.org.

Top 10 Soul Jazz Releases + One Reissue of 2007
Selected by Chuck Ingersoll, host of the Soul Jazz Spectrum on Jazz 90.1 and jazz901.org.

1) The Godfathers of Groove – Reuben Wilson, Bernard Purdie & Grant Green, Jr. (18th & Vine)
Traditional soul jazz merges with harder funk – with titles like “The Okiedoke” and “The Flipity Flop” how can you miss?!?!

2) Party Hats – Will Bernard (Palmetto)
There’s no pandering to the groove here: musical integrity + giving up the funk = Will Bernard.

3) Live: The Authorized Bootleg – Joey Defrancesco (Concord)
Not since Terry Gibbs’ Dream Band have elderly standards been reimagined with such spirit and swing.

4) Magic Tales – Radam Schwartz (Arabesque)
The N.J. educator and organist returns to create a sweet, soulful sound paying homage to the Mighty Burner.

5) Don’t Mess with Mister T: James Taylor Quarter Plays Motown – James Taylor (Dome)
A dozen covers from Stevie to Marvin, inventively delivered in the pocket by the other James Taylor, the one from across the pond.

6) Security – Antibalas (Anti)
Taking Fela further, Antibalas finds its own voice with longer jams.

7) Mr. Patterson’s Hat – Papa Grows Funk (Funky Krewe)
N’awlins blues, soul, funk and jazz, with just a touch of shredded guitar on top.

8) Folk Music – Deep Blue Organ Trio (Origin)
Bluesy Windy City jazz with mellow, simmering solos from guitarist Bobby Broom and Chris Foreman on the B3.

9) Battery Milk – Mike Dillon’s Go-Go Jungle (Hyena)
The first track sees Dillon’s vibes go go-go, and then it just gyrates wonderfully out of control from there.

10) What Happened to Television? – Greyboy All Stars (SciFidelity)
Funk that’s more diverse than relentless, and that’s a good thing – at least in this case.

Reissue of the Year
Black Talk / Black Drops – Charles Earland (BGP/import)
Back-in-the-day, old-school goodness from Earland, Virgil Jones, Idris Muhammed, Houston Person and others – two true soul-jazz classics on one disc.
