With Ju JuMan (1976), Gary Bartz cemented his developing reputation as one of thestrongest, most distinctive young reedman players of his time. The album hadnothing to do with gimmicks: it’s simply straight-ahead Gary Bartz, backed by asuperb rhythm throughout featuring Howard King, a young, compulsively fierypercussionist who had matured nicely working with Bartz for some four years.The section also included Charles Mims, a versatile pianist who could lock intoa groove and work it for all its worth, while Curtis Robertson provided a solid,cohesive foundation for Bartz’ driving saxophone. The highlight of the albummight be their sensitive accompaniment to Syreeta’s soulful rendition of MyFunny Valentine.

The music onLove Song (1977), is light, bouncy and fun, aiming to please both listener anddancer. According to Bartz, “the album is a collection of some R&B or poptunes that I had always liked and wanted to do.” The rhythm section of pianistGeorge Cables, bassist Curtis Robertson and drummer King keep things bubblingunderneath, while the background vocals of Clydie King, Billy Thedford andShirley Matthews add an extra touch to the overall sound, helping to make thedate a resounding musical success.
