Buddy Terry - Natural Soul (1967) [re-rip]

I have a lot to be thankful for. I am blessed as a leader, saxophonist, flutist, composer/arranger and soloist. I am well represented as a composer/arranger; whereas out of the six tunes included in this album, five were written and arranged by me. Notice the variety of the tunes. I have a blues, a ballad, a church-type song in six-four time, a calypso and jazz rooted boogaloo tune. All are different, but on the other hand they do have an affinity--they all are soulful. They have a Natural Soul which is brought about, in part, by the honesty and integrity of the musicians involved. To all the people who buy this album and read these notes I would like to say "GOD BLESS YOU". ~ Extract from Liner Notes by Buddy Terry
