Ivan Joseph Jones, also known as “Boogaloo Joe“, made his solo soul jazz debut as “Joe Jones“ on Prestige Records in 1967, but earned the name “Boogaloo Joe“ following a 1969 record of that title (the nickname was meant to distinguish him from the other people with similar names in the music business). Jones's most furious, frenetic, funky and in-demand record has to be “Sweetback” (1975), which features 'You've Got It Bad, Girl', and originally released on the Joka label. While his sound and style clearly derived from the blues, it was a solid understanding of rock and soul that Jones brought to his style of jazz and set him apart from the crowd. This video features American pulp artist Isaac Paul Rader who was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1906. Today, Rader is unjustly forgotten (by the art world in general), but still treasured by fans of vintage paperback collectors. Enjoy & Subscribe for more!
