DESCRIPTION:
My favorite soul-jazz tune of all time, "Makin' Out" by John Wright. Recorded June 23, 1961, by the great Rudy Van Gelder, at his studio in Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
Pianist John Wright, Wendell Marshall on bass, Roy Brooks on drums, Eddie "Cat-Eye" Williams on tenor sax.
In an interview where he talked about this, his first and only recording with horns, Wright said, "I didn't know how to really play with horns then, so I just started to comp behind Eddy Williams."
