Money in the Pocket (Joe Zawinul album)

Money in the Pocket is the debut studio album led by jazz fusion keyboardist Joe Zawinul released on the Atlantic label in 1966.

Reception

The Allmusic review awarded the album 3 stars. All About Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars, stating, "Money In The Pocket is a remarkable album—remarkable in that it gives absolutely no hint of the shape shifts that would transform Zawinul's work a few years later. The first of three albums he recorded for Atlantic, it's a conventional mix of mid-1960s hard bop and soul jazz". The Guardians John Fordham noted, "this session reflects the driving grooves of that popular soul-jazz style – so there are a lot of backbeats, repeating riffs, horn-harmony wailing and stagey stop-time breaks".
