Digitally remastered by Gene Paul (DB Plus Digital Services, New York, New York). Personnel: Von Freeman (tenor saxophone); Willis "Gator" Jackson (tenor saxophone); Boogaloo Joe Jones (guitar); Carl Wilson (organ); Yusef Ali (drums). Liner Note Authors: John Kruth; Neil Tesser. Recording information: International Jazz Festival (08/11/1978). This album has a somewhat unlikely matchup. While Willis "Gator" Jackson's roots are in honking and screaming R&B, and he later became a top-notch soul-jazz player, Von Freeman's unusual tone and exploratory style resulted in him being associated with the avant-garde and post-bop. However, this encounter works well. With organist Carl Wilson, guitarist Joe "Boogaloo" Jones and drummer Yusef Ali giving strong support, the two tenors challenge each other, romp on "Pow!" and "Willis and Von," and show off their highly original sounds on individual features. Hopefully, this unique set will be reissued on CD. ~ Scott Yanow
