Sonny Phillips is a decent, if derivative organist who recorded three albums for Prestige from 1969-70 and a pair for Muse in the mid-1970s. This 1997 CD reissue has all of the music from Sure 'Nuff and Black on Black, a couple of fine soul-jazz recordings. The earlier set is a quintet/sextet set with tenor saxophonist Houston Person, guitarist Joe "Boogaloo" Jones, electric bassist Bob Bushnell, drummer Bernard Purdie and sometimes trumpeter Virgil Jones. The later date features Phillips with tenor saxophonist Rusty Bryant, guitarist Melvin Sparks, electric bassist Jimmy Lewis and drummer Bernard Purdie. The music is blues- and groove-oriented, with "Oleo" being one of the few departures. Person and Bryant in particular have fine solos, while Phillips' chugging organ is appealing. This is his definitive set. ~ Scott Yanow
