Just listen to the first thirty seconds of this LP
and you know that it?s all about the 'Godfather
of Soul' ? the unique James Brown.
But it?s just as obvious that such a great artist
as George Benson doesn?t just present 'Greatest
Hits? in a new guise. Six of his own compositions
plus one by Donny Hathaway/Gene McDaniels provide
the guitarist and singer with a great platform to
launch from. He shoots off into orbit, accompanied
by first-class guest soloists such as Jon Faddis,
Frank Foster, Earl Klugh and Jack DeJohnnette.
Ron Carter?s bass doesn?t boom in the low register
but offers a light and airy, yet solid, base.
'Body Talk' is by no means the declaration of a
world-shaking, new and avant-garde jazz. It is,
however, a successful blend of jazz, soul and
fusion. And when such a superb arranger as Pee Wee
Ellis has his finger in the pie ? or rather: his
pen on the manuscript paper ? then one can be sure
that the almost 50-minute-long LP is a great
success from beginning to end. Finally, one
shouldn?t forget the helping hand of the producer
Creed Taylor, who made a significant contribution
to this milestone on the CTI label.
