What do Q-Tip, A Tribe Called Quest and US3 have in common, besides being hip-hop and acid-jazz heavies? All have been influenced by organist Reuben Wilson. Decades before these new-era beat-keepers made their marks, Wilson was serving up grooves that would be used as fodder for contemporary funk and soul-jazz. Along with the likes of Jimmy Smith, Richard Holmes and Jimmy McGriff, Wilson can justly be regarded as a granddaddy to many of today's pulse-finders. As far back as the late 1960s, Reuben Wilson was recording classic sessions such as , a collection of irresistibly danceable numbers, roiling with fat, surging rhythms. Reuben’s first recording in a new exclusive agreement with Savant is more of the same, with the B-3 Baron ably assisted by saxman-on-the-rise Cochemea Gastelum, drummer Mike Clark and the original Funkmeister himself, Melvin Sparks on guitar. Spectacular sound from Rudy Van Gelder makes this very attractive to the audiophile market as well. No one can pass up a trip to the fun house, so make it a point to go along with Reuben Wilson and have the time of your life.
