AMG Review of J.J.D.
Richie Unterberger
All Music GuideThis 1977 release consisted solely of one 22-minute song, "J.J.D. (Johnny Just Drop)." It actually wasn't much different in length than most of his releases from this era (which usually contained two songs adding up to half an hour), but still made rather short value. The song was decent enough, making extensive use of a live crowd and busy hand-drummed rhythm at the beginning, then gliding into a typical (if very long) Afro-funk-jazz vamp. It's been paired with a 1976 release (with the customary two songs and half-hour of music), Unnecessary Begging, on a single-disc 2001 MCA CD reissue.
 "J.J.D.")
