Hailing from '73, this is a stunning mid-career album by Dexter Gordon, featuring Thad Jones on trumpet and flugelhorn, along with his older brother Hank Jones on piano. The opening track, the title piece (jungle soul), is a Latin number with a powerful groove that blends jazz, funk, and rock. Dexter is renowned for his exquisite ballads, and he shines on his cover of Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". Thad's flugelhorn tone is smooth and his performance showcases the precision of a classically trained artist. "Airegin" is a lively, up-tempo tune, with outstanding improvisation from everyone involved. The final track is a mid-tempo blues with some genuine, heartfelt playing. The album feels short, as there are only four tracks, each highlighting a different aspect of Gordon's talent. The sound quality is fantastic. I'm beginning to appreciate Rudy Van Gelder's recordings, as his engineering is exceptional. The mix is rich and detailed, with a focus on the lower frequencies. This early pressing sounds incredible. What a fantastic record!
