Here is a collection that will appeal to Brother Jack McDuff’s fans, old and new–and to anyone with a well-developed taste for soul-jazz, organ style. Digging deep into his discography from 1959 to 1965, this set draws from nine different albums and presents one of the bosses of the Hammond B-3 (b. Eugene McDuffy; 1926-2001) fronting five different bands. Most are quartets featuring the outstanding guitarists (George Benson, Eddie Diehl, Bill Jennings) and saxophonists (Red Holloway, Harold Vick, with a guest shot by the great tenor man Gene Ammons).
