Don Wilkerson - Preach Brother!

With the release of The Complete Blue Note Sessions, Don Wilkerson seems to have finally received some long overdue recognition.  Firmly planted in the soul jazz style, he stands alongside greats like Fathead Newman, Stanley Turrentine and Hank Crawford.  It's still fascinating to me, that with the incredible popularity and exposure of Blue Note, Wilkerson can still remain a mystery to jazz fans.

You won't find any spiritual or higher powered jazz on Preach Brother!.  The order of the day is fun, upbeat jazz with a heavy leaning towards R&B.  Wilkerson is never at a loss for a funky, groovy chorus - and the band follows suit accordingly.

Obviously, most of you have this album one way or the other, as part of a collection or as a reissue.  I am offering my minty, reissued LP in hopes of capturing the few out there who need an introduction.  Ripped at 24/44.1 wav and dithered to 16/44.1 FLAC... enjoy!!!
