Challenge Records: Jazz Soul 7: an all star line up tributes Curtis Mayfield

Jazz Soul Seven, an all star line up for a new project: 'Impressions of Curtis Mayfield'! 

Curtis Mayfield, undeniable as a subject for tribute. That is what Phil Upchurch and Brian Brinkerhoff thought. They handpicked four Los Angeles-based players and two special imports, all well-known in jazz circles but with the earthy sensibilities to grasp and interpret the gospel and funk of where Curtis was coming from.

Jazz Soul Seven consists of Terry Lyne Carrington (drums), Russ Ferrante (piano), Master Henry Gibson (percussion), Bob Hurst (bass), Wallace Roney (trumpet), Phil Upchurch (guitar) and Ernie Watts (saxophone). A better line up for the tribute to Curtis Mayfield couldn't be formed: this band really would have brought a smile to Curtis’ lips!
