It's unclear how much actual playing
the Young-Holt Trio do on their debut LP
Soulful Strut. The title track happens to be the instrumental track of
"Am I the Same Girl," by
Barbara Acklin, with
Acklin's vocal removed and the piano raised in the mix. Likewise for
"Please Sunrise," "Love Makes a Woman," and
"Just Ain't No Love," all songs that
Acklin recorded. The trio consisted of
Ken Chaney (piano),
Eldee Young (bass, cello, vocals), and
Issac Holt (drums), formerly of
the Ramsey Lewis Trio. Whether a fast one got pulled or not, the ten tracks make for enjoyable and delightful listening. Excellent old-school smooth jazz. ~ Andrew Hamilton
