"If your a fan of acts such as Galactic, the Greyboy Allstars, Grant Green, or the Meters, meet the master, Ivan "Boogaloo Joe" Jones. Jones was named "Boogaloo" in order to distinguish him from other jazz artists of the time. To the point, this is the best "Groove" jazz release to date. This release will not disappoint! I had not heard of him until I was introduced to this disc, now it's at the top of my recommendations! From the slow groove to blues influence, "Boogaloo" has it all, truly showing his guitar mastery. Hopefully, w/ this reissue, he will finally get the recognition he so richly deserves."

More Great Boogaloo!!!

"This is another great Boogaloo Joe Jones cd. I'd put it right up there with the two Legends of Acid Jazz cd's. The only problem is its hard to get, so people are charging a premium for it. For $20, I'd say definitely buy it. For $40, I'd say buy it if you have the two "Legends" cd's and you must have more. But I notice people are asking $100 and over for this one; and that is insane."
