In celebrating the life of the late James Brown, the world has focused on an icon; he was one of the most recognizable faces and voices of our age, the performer of all performers. Amidst the grandeur it’s easy to overlook the fact that James Brown was always about music: Long before he was anointed Godfather Of Soul, his childhood nickname was “Music Box.” Beyond his native rhythm and blues, Brown appreciated everything from country music to the Gospels he sang as a youngster. As a teenager he developed a fondness for standards – songs that crossed the boundary between “race” music and “pop” music. As an adult, he loved jazz.
“I like Ahmad Jamal, [Dave] Brubeck,” Brown told Down Beat’s Ira Gitler in 1968. “But then, if I want to hear a cat drive I like Horace Silver, Jimmy Smith, [Brother Jack] McDuff, Jimmy McGriff; I like them because they’re real soulful.”
Over six decades of recording, Brown touched on jazz in a variety of projects – first, as an organist with his own hard swinging group; then a couple of vocal albums, one with a cocktail trio, another with Louis Bellson’s big band. There’s also JB’s tribute to fellow King Records artist Little Willie John that fired up his jazz influences. Brown’s own unit, arguably the most influential funk band ever, also introduced trumpeter Waymon Reed, trombonist Fred Wesley and saxophonists Alfred “Pee Wee” Ellis and Maceo Parker, all of whom accumulated enviable jazz credentials. (Parker’s rousing performance on “There” is thought to be his first recorded solo.) And they’ve been a model for countless jazz-funk outfits.
This compilation derives from a wide array of sources yet holds together cohesively; it’s a testament to the common thread in all of Brown’s records. “I’m not an organ player, that’s for sure,” he once admitted. “I just try to play soul, that’s about all I can do. But that’s the way I express me.”
