Instrumental Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Early Pop/Rock

The most consistently enticing disc in the Rock Instrumental Classics series, this is both a great party and driving record and a window on the rhythms that powered soul music in the '60s (and early '70s, in two cases). In addition to some obvious choices (the four Booker T. & the MG's tracks, the Mar-Keys' "Last Night"), it also offers some left-field picks, such as the varied approaches to Latin music offered by Ray Barretto, Mongo Santamaria, and El Chicano. The stock of virtuoso performances here is all but endless: the bass-and-drums breakdown on Cliff Nobles and Co.'s "The Horse," the glinting guitar solo on the Bar-Kays' "Soul Finger," Hugh Masekela's questing trumpet on "Grazing in the Grass".

McGriff with Bill Easley on sax, Melvin Sparks on guitar, Bernard Purdie on drums, and Al Grey on trombone. The trombone is not that often found in the small-organ combo format and may not appeal to everyone. Smooth, yet funky.

David T. Walker's final solo LP "On Love" ably captures the gauzy, romantic atmosphere its title promises, but like most of Walker's output as a leader, atmosphere is pretty much all this record has to offer for all its shimmering beauty, the music lacks substance. The plush sophistication of the production is more a minus than a plus never one to the command the spotlight in the first place, Walker completely defers to the overall mood and texture throughout "On Love", and regardless of his technical brilliance, one can't but wish he would simply cut loose and break off a memorable, impassioned guitar solo or two. As usual, he also sticks to familiar pop melodies "Windows of the World" and "Lovin' You," most notably but does little to reinvent or revitalize them. This is music so smooth it slips between the cracks.
