Title: Gator should have left this one in the swamp
Product review: This entry in the popular Prestige series pairs Willis Jackson's "Keep On A Blowin'" (tracks 1-6) and "Thunderbird" (tracks 7-12). Neither finds Jackson at the top of his game. The guitarist, Bill Jennings, while not a fret butcher like Thornel Schwartz, isn't remotely in the same league with Pat Martino."Thunderbird" is marred by some simple rock chord progressions. And the rest of the CD wouldn't qualify for the most humble Blue Note blowing date. With so much great hard bop material of this vintage on the market, unless you want every note Willis Jackson played, skip this one.
