Our Take

Don Wilkerson's Preach Brother! is like a time machine that takes you straight back to the swinging 60s, when jazz was king and the saxophone was its scepter. Wilkerson, known for his work with Ray Charles and James Brown, brings his soulful sound to this dynamic album that oozes cool from start to finish.

From the kick-off track "Camp Meetin'" to the funky grooves of "Jeanie's Tune", Wilkerson's saxophone prowess is on full display, weaving in and out of the infectious melodies with ease. His band, featuring jazz heavyweights like Grant Green and John Patton, provides the perfect backdrop for Wilkerson's virtuosic solos.

But it's not all smooth sailing on Preach Brother! Tracks like "Senorita Eula" and "Dem Tambourines" add a touch of grit to the proceedings, showcasing Wilkerson's versatility as a musician. The album's title track, with its rousing gospel influences, is a standout moment that will have you on your feet and clapping along.

Overall, Preach Brother! is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to add some vintage flair to their music collection. Don Wilkerson may not be a household name, but after listening to this album, you'll wonder why he isn't. Grab your cocktail shaker, settle into your favourite armchair, and let the smooth sounds of Preach Brother! wash over you. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Don Wilkerson

Don Wilkerson: A Saxophonist with Soul Known for his smooth saxophone stylings and infectious groove, Don Wilkerson is a true gem in the world of jazz. Hailing from Texas, Wilkerson burst onto the music scene in the 1950s and quickly made a name for himself with his soulful sound and incredible stage presence. With a career that spanned over three decades, Wilkerson collaborated with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Ray Charles and Grant Green. His ability to seamlessly blend blues, gospel, and R&B into his music set him apart from his contemporaries and solidified his status as a jazz legend. Wilkerson's 1962 album, "Preach Brother!", is a shining example of his talent and creativity. The album features Wilkerson's signature smooth saxophone solos, backed by a tight rhythm section that keeps the listener grooving from start to finish. Despite his undeniable talent and influence in the jazz world, Wilkerson never quite achieved the same level of fame as some of his peers. However, true music lovers know that his contributions to the genre are nothing short of extraordinary. So, if you're in the mood for some soulful saxophone vibes that will transport you to a smoky jazz club in the 1960s, look no further than Don Wilkerson. His music is like a warm embrace on a cold night – comforting, familiar, and oh so soulful.
