Filled with stylistically varied, lean arrangements, bassist Gerald Veasley's Soul Control is not only his best effort, but one of the best R&B/soul-based contemporary jazz efforts to come along in quite some time. Veasley starts out smokin' -a cage-rattling hip-hop beat is the wire frame for Veasley's funky duet with Grover Washington Jr.'s alto sax on "Carolina" and goes on to explore blithe, spacious shuffles ("Broad Street" - which features Rick Braun on stuttering flugelhorn), heavy blues grooves ("Earthworm," which finds Veasley's bass spitting and popping over a rock march beat), and all of the logical steps in between.
