I was really happy to see and hear this. I had the privilege of sitting in with Boogaloo Joe Jones at club in Atlantic City around the time of this release. The band featured great organist Big John Patton, and the drummer on this present set, Bud Kelly. I was studying in Philly at the time with the great Dennis Sandole, and wandered into the club. It was a great find.. .hardly any good jazz there that weekend. I sat up close and was really grooving (me and drummer Bud Kelly the only white guys there as I remember! -- I musta been a sight ! After a set or 2 Joe leaned over and asked me, "Do you want to sit in?" Shocked, I said how do you know i play. He said, "Oh I KNOW you play,' smiling. He musta seen me watching his fingers and grooving :) Well, i did sit in and played way over my head == they lifted me up .. what a great nite! The band invited me to come back on Saturday night to sit in for the whole night, which I did. I wanted to come back on the next night to listen (friday night), but was afraid they would change their mind about the Saturday nite invite, so I held back. When I got there on Saturday they said "Oh man, you shoulda come here last night Pat (Martino) sat in with us all night" DAMN!! Pat is and was one of my idols and inspirations (AND , proud to say, a former student of my then -teacher Dennis Sandole! Lesson learned!
He headlined at an outdoor festival at Crystal Palace, London 1990. My company ran three outdoor bars and the backstage bar. He played for nearly three hours and blew a lot of minds. Very loud, funky with a whose lot of soul. One of the great south London gigs.

If you listen close to Track 02 "There Is A Mountain" you will hear "Mountain Jam" by the Allman Brothers!! Duane Allman definitely must have heard and dug this record
That is a dang good observation, Jamoie turned Duane on to Jazz and i would'nt at all be suprised that Duane (always open to great music) would have heard this and been very impressed with it. Jazz players were dipping their toes in rock and vice versa with the rockers in the late 60's. Coltrane and Miles were big influences on the Allmans as well as the Grateful Dead. Duane adored Jerry's playing and Jerry. Nice comment, Micah..
The first track has a Grateful Dead Dak Star feel to it. The Dead also did a version of Mountain Jam a few times. I bet this album was on a lot of musicians turntables in '67.
Always felt that Boogaloo J J felt what Grant Green felt and expressed it with even more funk . Boogaloo J J got air play on KBCA jazz radio in early 70's , that's how I came to know about him . God bless all you funky souls out there that dig it too !
What a great number of people fail to understand is that when this was being made, this sound, is was brand new, never heart outside of the American Northeast; not the blues, not conventional jazz as we understood it. This was a brand new sound that was different than this new fangled rock and roll that was coming out, this music was designed to be unobtrusive, this sound is meant as the background music of life, not a foreground distraction.
Fully agree, once again a sunny music gem. Very invigorating and catching opus provided you listen to it with tinted glasses and a glass of planter's punch.
..for a jazz musician you need to know and understand the significance of the legends on your instrument 🎸 ...I think 🤔 it’s all part of your basic training, this man is part of the big story along with Wes, George,Kenny, Grant and others..this great 👍 upload offers a quick and wholesome snapshot of his different moods..the tracks from the 2nd album here with Harold Maybern on piano and Ron Carter on bass are my favorite..so far!..recorded by Rudy Van Gelder no less, the jazz engineering scientist!..stay strong and stay safe..jazz lives!..New York February 20, 2021..
To Victormusic: really appreciate your comment.would you like to recommend someone great blues jazz guitar albums that are a" must" for anybody that enjoys the genre ?
@@mst7155 ..I would start with 2 or 3 solid examples to start with an try to absorb as much as you can without overloading yourself..maybe Grant Green’s Street of Dreams and his release a few years later going into a more bluesy soul jazz groove, Carrying On..Wes Montgomery’s The Incredible Jazz Guitar Of is a must and maybe Kenny’s release Midnight Blue..not in any necessary order here my friend, but in my humble opinion Grant is the most accessible of these and Wes the most cerebral!..all incredible..stay strong and stay safe..New York March 12, 2021..
@@victormusic01x thank you! What is your personal fave? I know the 2 albums you mentioned by Wes M. and Kenny B. I want to dig in a bit more. Actually coming from blues and rock n roll, I get more and more into Jazz. I often listen to new orleans jazz with banjo arrangements and I love what Johnny st. Cyr played, but of course, this jazz blues started a lot later (though St. Cyr probably inflenced them all?).
And here I thought I was familiar with most of the jazz guitarists from that era. This is a pleasant surprise. Puts me in mind of Grant Green. Nice music from the past.
He left the music business and became a church preacher, to me he was already preaching with his guitar and that is behind the feel behind his guitar playing, one of my favourite guitarists of all time, Right On Brother my favourite track perhaps. I have just been listening to Sister Rosetta Tharp and my guess is that she was a big influence on Ivan BJJ
Marvellous stuff. ALWAYS grooving. Not a single dud. Rich chords alternating with rapid-fire runs. Precision picking. Soulful. Guitarist on a mission to squeeze every ounce of goodness out of relatively simple ingredients such as boogaloo, blues, ballads, the occasional cover, whatever took his fancy. Not as "psychedelic" as Gabor Szabo, but somehow, for me, earthier, more grounded. Every track makes me smile ear to ear. Could listen to this all day.
@Beeblebrox One True, that was a gross exaggeration, my bad. I somehow associated them with the post-war era, but the wrong post-war era obviously. 40s would be much more correct, you're right. Still this is nothing like Monk or Parker imo.

Wow, ive played guitar for 40 years, developed a style kind a similar to this, maybe a little more Montgomery/hendrix- ish, but ive never heard this. This is great.
@@bobbystahr And Joe Pass.. and Peter Bernstein who you can go see in NYC once this COVID nightmare is over. The third track is a great Cannonball Adderly tune.
Yeah digger West but I like a little more so the psychedelic jazz his kind of the best best of both for me I'm just teaching myself the guitar 🎸 and digging it I'm a 69 at the end of the month so so very nice and engaging with this camp and maybe one day at play smooth as Wes
WOW ! Great Soloing & seamless Rhythm Comping. I'm hearing bits of Wes Montgomery, Grant Green & his own very driving Thematic, Methodical style all mixed in together. Fantastic use of Double Stops as well as Octaves, too. What a Find ! This guy is truly among the Greatest in his Field. Thanks greatly for Sharing.
Back in 69 when I was 14 , after a hard day of listening to Hendrix,Cream,the Beatles I,d go over to my friends house who had a Boogaloo Joe record man it was cool! Me and my bro still talk about this cat and how he just disappeared.Thanks for posting this.Would like to hear his other recordings as well.He had a great version of "Someday Will Be Together"
Wikipedia says he's still alive. "Jones has lived in South New Jersey most of his life and mostly worked in and around the Atlantic City area with chitlin circuit heroes like Wild Bill Davis, Willis Jackson and Charlie Ventura. Jones, who never won the notice of critics or great support from fans during his career, is finding new life on CD. "
That was the time I was first exposed to BJJones too _ _ then he seemed to just vanish . I'd like to know his efforts in more recent times too , but in this life there's always some mystery . Check out Grant Green _ _ and you just might get a new guitar hero .
OK Utube, first up John Wright Trio - South side Soul, then Fela Kuti - Open and Close, now Boogaloo Joe Jones - Psyhedelic Jazz Guitar!! All reccomended to me in one day, well done. Most excellent. And all is forgiven for recommending Barry Manilow to me last week. We cool. This is a fantastic album.
He is not so famous in Japan. A couple years ago, I bought his album "Right On Brother" unexpectedly. But I was deeply impressed with his smooth fingering and flowing phrases. These two albums are also splendid. Thanks for posting so so much.

Funny. I just lit up and saw this. Good stuff.
Finding groovy tunes when high is always a good ole time 😂😂 Digging ur pic btw - Innerspeaker is a great album
What?! Oooh yeah man ✌🏽
Of course the legendary Ron Carter on bass. He's everywhere.
except on this LP
Ohhh.....I did not notice that at first. Sooooo amazing The Man from Everywhere.....The Definitive Groovster- Mr. Ron Carter...Exquisite as always.
This feels like the first time I used my bidet. Refreshing, tropical, pure passion.

When I saw 'Psychedelic Jazz Guitar' I thought, Yeah right....but it's definitely growing on me.
Carlos Santana was surely inspired by this man! If not I am!! My Love goes out to all music!
Congas and jazz guitar, a late 50's to early 60's sound to me. Almost a beatnik cafe vibe.

This is just like West Montgomery with a hint of delta blues. Soulful yes, psychedelic ,not even close.

Not Wes but does sound like Gabor Szabo.
