MELVIN JACKSON – Funky Skull (Verve By Request Series) – LP – 180g Vinyl

LP – Limited Verve By Request Series Edition 180g Black Vinyl. Pressed at Third Man Records in Detroit.

On his sole album as a leader, bassist Melvin Jackson – a veteran of the Eddie Harris band (this album includes two Harris originals) – plays with a bow, plucks and plugs his upright bass into a Maestro G-2 filter box, a Boomerang, an Echoplex, and an Ampeg amp. The result is soulful, psychedelic, and of course, funky at once one of the grooviest and most avant-garde albums youll ever hear.

This Verve By Request title is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man in Detroit.
