Melvin Sparks – Sparks! (Full Album)

Sparks! is the debut album by soul jazz guitarist Melvin Sparks recorded for the Prestige label in 1970.

“A solid soul-jazz outing that looks to commercial material for the bulk of the set, but doesn’t unduly compromise itself in a pop direction. Sparks was one of the bluesiest soul-jazz guitarists, and his tart tone shares space here with deep grooves from Leon Spencer on organ. The brass, handled by Virgil Jones (trumpet) Houston Person (tenor sax), and John Manning (tenor sax) is usually secondary to the guitar-organ riffs. Sparks remakes Sly Stone’s “Thank You,” the Coasters’ “Charlie Brown,” and Eric Burdon and War’s “Spill the Wine” as lengthy instrumentals — commercial choices, to be sure, but executed with relaxed grit. Rounding out the program is a Rodgers & Hart cover and a Leon Spencer original. The entire album is available on the Legends of Acid Jazz CD reissue, which also includes his 1971 follow-up, Spark Plug.” – Richie Unterberger/AllMusic.

最も好きなジャズ・ギタリストの一人、 メルビン・スパークスを聴きながら作画。 ブルーノートの洗練されたアルバムジャケットも好きだけど、プレステッジのB級感漂う、 いなたいジャケットもめちゃくちゃ好き。 #melvinsparks #jazzguiter https://www.instagram.com/p/CZLirs8JgpC/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Think!” by the late #DrLonnieSmith was recorded on July 23, 1968, at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey featuring Smith on organ, #LeeMorgan on trumpet, #DavidNewman on tenor and flute, #HermanHenry and #MelvinSparks on guitar, #PunchoBrown on percussions and #MelvinBooker on drums. This was his second album for @BlueNoteRecords. The strange thing about hearing of his passing last night I was listening to “The Tennessee Waltz” by #LouDonaldson the other day and scrambled to see how many tunes had Doc played on Lou’s “Pretty Things” and found out it was just that piece and thought I need to get more of his music on vinyl into my collection. I have several of his CDs, but very few on vinyl. This reissue is from the #BlueNoteRecords 80th Anniversary/Classic Series which sounds so sweet. I love this album mainly because Lee Morgan is on it and my favorite tune of this session is the title song which was made famous by the late great #ArethaFranklin, but I also enjoy the Latin flavored tune “The Call of the Wild”. This is an enjoyable session, probably not his best, but very enjoyable. Rest In Peace Doc! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 . . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection #OnMyTurtable #MusicaJazz #JazzMan #IgJazzCollector #3rdStreetJazz #JazzLife https://www.instagram.com/p/CUaBfEXgO_o/?utm_medium=tumblr
