If Wasted ended after "Gatur Bait," the third song, it would be a soul classic. Smooth grooves -- in the best sense -- that never let the jazz leanings take over, the Gaturs brought a less-drum-specific take to the New Orleans funky soul sound, complete with some great tambourine-shaking. Leader/keyboardist Willie Tee had scored earlier regional hits with "Teasin' You" and it's sound-alike follow-up, "Thank You John," two of the sweetest-sounding songs in the pimping songbook. By the time of these early-'70s recordings, Tee had played behind many of New Orleans' top artists, both on record and on-stage. His voice had also deepened. However, none of that can explain the vapidness of much of Wasted. Juxtaposed with standouts "Booger Man" and "Cold Bear" are downright boring lite-jazz vamps with lyrics that make many later-day adult contemporary songs seem insightful. Just when you're ready to give up completely, the Gaturs sucker you in for some more with a decent track like "Funky Funky Twist." ~ Kurt Edwards

Wasted
$9.95 
Arranger: J.J. Jackson.
Soul belter J.J. Jackson is best known for his 1967 smash, "But It's Alright," but he has some fine singles and a couple of excellent albums as well, and 1967's But It's Alright on the Calla label is one of them. Kicking off with the infectious title track, the record alternates between flat-out rockers like "I Dig Girls," "Come See Me (I'm Your Man)" (which was written by Jackson, covered by the Pretty Things, and then reclaimed powerfully here), and "Boogaloo Baby," midtempo groovers like ...

Recording information: Half Note Cafe, New York, NY (11/11/1960).
As Rudy Van Gelder continued to establish himself as the greatest studio engineer of jazz, he started to venture out into the nightclub scene of 1960s New York City to document the bands from the Blue Note label that were growing by strength in numbers and high-quality hard to post-bop. Donald Byrd's groups were changing and evolving, but by 1960 had reverted to two years prior with the return of baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams as his main foil. In early 1960 Byrd was working with Jackie McLean and Hank Mobley, but by autumn and winter Adams had reentered the picture, joining holdovers pianist Duke Pearson and drummer Lex Humphries. Some of this material sees the spotlight on live performances at the Half Note Cafe from the previous studio recording, Byrd in Flight, while other numbers are fresh interpretations of standards and more new material from Byrd and Pearson. Bassist Laymon Jackson spent some prominent time with Byrd, Lou Donaldson, and Nat Adderley before professionally fading from sight, but he is an excellent anchor for his bandmates, and one who deserves close inspection. Pearson's animated and excited "My Girl Shirl," the cute ditty "Child's Play," and Byrd's jaunty "Soulful Kiddy" are the reprised tracks, and kick off the set. They are a quintessential hard bop sandwich with a soul-jazz filling spiced by chopsticks piano. Two other tracks are penned by Pearson: the most famous of his works, the quick and bright "Jeannine," driven by the pianist's two-fisted comping chords; and "Chant," which is the most laid-back yet soulful selection. A pure Byrd contributes the fun, wholly blues-inspired "Pure D. Funk," alternating at will from quick waltz to slow blues, while "Kimyas" also exploits triplet figures in a chunky, popping Latin rhythm, very hip à la the best Art Blakey-led bands. "Cecile" is the most extravagant and moody blues ...
