While elements of his R\u0026amp;B days were at times in evidence on his many Prestige LPs, Jackson tempered his attack and moved easily into the soul-jazz bag that was so popular on uptown jukeboxes in the early-to-mid 1960s. This set is a kind of survey course in “Gatorology,” taking in selections from five albums made between January 1961 and September 1968. Jackson, with first-rate backing throughout (the sidemen include such giants as Tommy Flanagan, Kenny Burrell, and Roy Haynes), adapts his down-to-earth, big-toned approach to a variegated musical menu ranging from contemporary pop tunes to calypsos, and from boogaloos to Italian favorites to spirituals. But the main course is the soul-blues that was “Gator”’s bread and butter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eShuckin'  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eCachita    \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eI Left My Heart In San Francisco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eWhat Kind Of Fool Am I?  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eMama Inez    \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eBy The Time I Get To Phoenix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFlorence Of Arabia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eArrivederci Roma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eNeapolitan Nights  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eNobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eA Twist Of Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSweet Peter Charleston\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eCat Meal  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eHe Said, She Said, I Said\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":45287831535731,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/Screenshot2026-07-28at10.53.25AM.png?v=1785254065","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/willis-jackson-at-large","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
