Title: Definition of jazz
Review: If they ever land from Mars and ask "What is jazz?," disk 2 from this twofer could provide an answer. Soul Meeting and Blue Genius will be among those pieces shown in time to be exemplary jazz. They have an urging, subtle beat (Percy Heath and Art Taylor), and the three-man front line (Jackson. Ray Charles and Kenny Burrell) build statements of the finest logic and architecture. There's not much left that gets into the soul as does this music in today's jazz wasteland with Marsalis et al. at the helm.
