Description

Spellbound Music present a reissue of Paul Gonsalves Quartet’s Boom-Jackie-Boom-Chick from 1964. Led by the great tenor saxophonist and long-time member of the Duke Ellington Orchestra, Paul Gonsalves who nails it as a saxophone player with his backing crew – consisting of piano, stand-up bass, and drums.

Gonsalves and his guys take their listener on a journey due to very expressive and strong melodies. This is a truly seminal moment where swing benignly turns into bop. The new and often more radical streams within the genre oppressed this development but Boom-Jackie-Boom-Chick (whose title was inspired by the name of Mr. Gonsalves’s regular heroin dealer) became an underground classic for those who like to dig deeper into a genre to discover the real treasures.

Earlier in the year I witnessed an original 1964 copy being sold at an auction for in excess of £800. The only one for sale on Sharkbay is listed for £3,363.03! Meanwhile NM- copies of the 2006 reissue are listed for £88 and previously have sold for up to £100. This is a serious money record.

Tracklist:
A1 – Boom-Jackie-Boom-Chick
A2 – I Should Care
A3 – Village Blues
A4 – If I Should Lose You
B1 – Poor Butterfly
B2 – Blue P.G.
B3 – You Are Too Beautiful
B4 – Taboo
