We Say...
If you are like me, you think you like jazz and you want to like jazz but sometimes you sit down to listen to jazz and you just don't get it. Certain jazz compositions can be challenging and hard to digest. There are times when the playing is so esoteric that you have to be a certifiable genius to fully understand it. This album put an end to my stupor. It's kind of jazz for idiots and I mean that in the best way. The songs are melodic, thematic and laden with hooks.

They Say...
At first glance, this would appear to be a CD reissue well worth picking up. R&B tenor saxophonist King Curtis is heard in a rare jazz outing, holding his own with cornetist Nat Adderley (in prime form), pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Oliver Jackson on four originals and "Willow Weep for Me." But the single-CD Soul Meeting not only contains this entire session, but another related six-song set as well. Only get this particular release if it is found at a budget price.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
