The Gator Horn


The Gator Horn is an album by saxophonist Willis Jackson, recorded in 1977 and released on the Muse label.

Reception

The Bay State Banner wrote that the album "is simply swinging R&B instrumental stuff, not as complex or innovative as the honkers in the new music camp, but very funky and danceable without resorting to cliches or gimmicks."
In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow states that "Jackson's basic tenor always contained plenty of soul, the potential of exploding, and an attractive warm sound... For this fine set, Gator alternates between romps and ballads."
