Wilkins, Jack
Windows
Wewantsounds present the first ever reissue Jack Wilkins's highly sought-after Mainstream Records album 'Windows,' originally released in 1973. Produced by Bob Shad, the album, which is on many want-lists, is especially cult for his rendition of Freddie Hubbard's classic Red Clay, notably sampled by A Tribe Called Quest (on 'Sucka Nigga') and Chance The Rapper. Recorded in 1973 at New York's Record Plant, this superb session sees guitarist Jack Wilkins in a trio setting accompanied by Mike Moore on bass and young seasoned west coast drummer Bill Goodwin (Gabor Szabo, Gary Burton, Paul Horn, Tom Waits). Together, the trio plays mix of classics including John Coltrane's Naima, Wayne Shorter's Pinocchio, and Chick Corea's Windows, showcasing their instant rapport. Jack Wilkins is an underrated guitarist; he's accompanied such stars as Stanley Turrentine, Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughan, and Sammy Davis Jr. but he has remained more of a musician's musician.
