Ivan "Boogaloo Joe" Jones - Black Whip (1973)

[@WeAreNotAmused]

Absolutely tight as a mother . Funky boogaloo with a few distinct latin styled phrasing😊

[@andrewoakley1490]

My most favourite track of all time. Must be played at my funeral. 😎😎😎

[@cpr58]

I remember as a kid hearing some of this music. But could never find anything more about it. life in a small mid west town eaves you cut of from the world at time. I don;t understand why this music never took off.

[@jeffreyjernigan7125]

Bought this album in '73 after hearing a song from it on WNOP 740 AM. Still rocks hard today.

Smokin Jazz from the basement, Ivan at his "Boogaloo" best, rivetting shuffler, sheer esoteric briliance from 1973, guitarist ivan Boogaloo Jones riffs & grooves his way through this Jazz jam that's mindblowingly hot, such an infectious rhythm with lovely sax from Dave Hubbard

[@DukeOfEarlStreet]

still doing it on dancefloors in 2012 Saturday 10th November to be exact : )

[@fabrizio1227]

Incredibile, ascolto Ivan "Boogaloo Joe" Jones da qualche anno ormai, e ogni volta rimango sorpreso, dalle melodie, dagli arrangiamenti e dalla tecnica, infinitamente bravo.

[@Sergio-ff5md]

io l'ho scoperto solo un paio di mesi per caso...fantasticooo...non mi stanco mai di ascoltarlo...gli album, uno migliore dell'altro...l'unico rammarico è perchè la sua discografia si fermi a sweetback(1976) e poi non c'è più niente, neanche ospite in altri dischi...anche se non vedo da nessuna parte che sia morto...

[@ricksmith2206]

I remember this, good times

[@BastiatHayek]

BOOGALOO JOE JONES (g), Dave Hubbard (t sax), Bobby Knowles (org), Ron Carter (b), Bud Kelly (d) and Jimmy Johnson (perc) in 1973.

[@Redtenbachersfunkestra]

Loving this!

[@hueynrolf9272]

This is insane! After that sax part, he keeps building that crescendo until your nose bleeds. It's an outstanding example of how a guitar can used to express emotion without any effects pedals. Brilliant!

[@duncanklf]

Heuyen Rolf “Until your nose bleeds” Hahahahaha. Brilliant description! You’ve made my day

[@trademark1874]

Totally insane, had to get it on CD to my hi ress stereo, the percussion will blow you away, if you aint got the cd or lp, hear it in Lossless Quality on TIDAL!!!!

[@geraldwalker3206]

this is a tune, brilliant guitar and superb drumming

[@royayersrules]

This tracked ripped the dancefloor apart at my local jam. Killer cut.

[@BryanDeanTrio]

I can't believe this cat got by me. Huge Wes and Grant fan. I LOVE this! All his stuff grooves so hard. My new fav player. TY very much for posting!

[@kapacon]

[@lats86]

[@vidform6485]

Vibraslap!!! Glad I finally figured out what that sound/instrument is.

[@unameit0000]

Thank you. Love it as well and never get to knew the name before ;)

[@Redragonfieldofgreen]

Got to find this album

[@mcfunkyfreshhh]

a bad baaaad groove! keep it up!

[@strangersound]

@ssminopoopy Most underrated guitarist period. If I can manage to play as good as Smokin' Joe, I'll be good to go. :) Just imagine if he'd be doing those leads with some distortion! I bet Jimi would have been sweatin' it, big time. ;) I love Boogaloo Joe! :)

[@fabrizio1227]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kenny1994sisi]

Good !

[@mst7155]

Great as any guitar genius can be!!!! Am I wrong if I think he s in the same class as Grant Green, Kenny Burrell.....?

[@stickymoan]

He's very definitely in the 'same class' as Grant and Kenny!

[@ThePerfectPie]

Ah, this is so goooooood... Mmm...

[@strangersound]

@mocilo74 Yeah, Joe is smokin'!

[@stephenramsey5270]

price less worth more than diamonds and gold nicley.

[@tpeterson83]

@frogslips I'm also interesting in this. Cant find anything but stuff on Wiki. Anyone knows is he still alive?

[@frogslips]

Where is Ivan Boogaloo Jones now and what happened to him? There is nothing about him on the web besides the same bio blurb repeated everywhere.

[@strangersound]

@royayersrules Spread the word, good brother! ;)

[@sgrroiii]

Sheet yeah minky .

[@silvesteragurs2102]

don't play wit it 🎹🎷✌😎

[@joesmith3215]

That vibraslap has gotta go!

[@GoDamnWeird]

Sounds like someone got given a go of the vibraslap... yes, it's annoyingly overused. Sounds like the sort of thing I'd do. Like deploying a sports whistle during Nocturne Number 3 and yellow carding the pianist every time there's a rest. Ah...stick with it, the percussionist swaps to tambourine. More tolerable in the mix.

[@GoDamnWeird]

Shit...it comes back. Christ...there's even an Acme Siren. Have I heard this already, deep in my past? Seems influential in too many ways to be a coincidence.

[@nickatkins2101]

As mad as the rest of this madly brilliant bonkers, tambourines, whistles, up and dancin like a vodka stung loon at a wake, unearthed and boogie eyed!
