Info for Goodies (2015 Remaster)
One of the lesser-known JJ Johnson albums of the mid 60s – and nice little session that's done with a fresh sort of style! The album's got JJ playing mostly with larger arrangements – penned by Dick Hyman, Slide Hampton, and Billy Byaers – in modes that range from upbeat, mod, and swinging – to mellow, lush, and soulful. A few cuts have vocalists – like the lovely Marlene Ver Planck, who sings wordlessly on the album's amazing groover 'Pense A Moi' – a sweetly skipping jazz waltz that's almost worth the price of the record alone! Marlene returns on a great version of 'Agua De Beber', and Osie Johnson sings on versions of 'The Seventh Son' and 'In The Name Of Love' – and other nice tracks include '008', 'Feeling Good', and 'G'Won Train'.
„Goodies captures J.J. Johnson's mid-'60s big band in full gallop. Paired with arrangers Dick Hyman, Slide Hampton and Billy Byers, the music marries the nimble grooves of soul-jazz with the big, bold sensibilities of swing to stunning effect. Mastering adrenaline and atmosphere with equal aplomb, the music shifts effortlessly from powder keg dance melodies to lush, luminous ballads, complete with vocal contributions from Osie Johnson and Marlene Ver Planck. The latter's wordless turn on the stunning 'Pense a Moi' is the album's unequivocal highlight. A little-known but rewarding session most easily obtained via the Lonehill label's two-disc The Complete '60s Big Band Recordings set.“ (Jason Ankeny, AMG)
