Amazing stuff from Ivan Boogaloo Joe Jones! Unlike some of the other players on Prestige during the early 70s - who often got a bit weaker as the decade moved on, thanks to the departure of some of the better forces arranging and producing the records - Jones kept on playing hard, improving his guitar skill to a point where he was riffing and grooving away at a pace that's simply mindblowing when you hear it. Case in point is the mighty "Black Whip", a fantastic bit of funky jazz that cracks back and forth with all the whiplike qualities hinted at in the title - and which has a totally infectious jazz dance groove that always gets us on the floor.1.
