Yet another Record Store Day release (LP April 20, CD/digital May 17) this time a double CD/LP by Brother Jack McDuff one of the undisputed legends of the B3 recorded live in Seattle at The Gallery on Sept. 16, 1972.
Ten tracks featuring, apart from Brother Jack, two tenor saxists and an unidentified trumpet player on five of the ten tracks.
It's lusty, walkin' the bar, juke joint music that's guaranteed to get you shakin' it all over.
The B3 has helped pay the rent/mortgage the world over for many musicians and McDuff was up there with the best.
Being a live session there are no time limits such as might be required in a studio recording where it's unlikely that they would be allowed to jam for 13:37 minutes on Three Blind Mice!
Jazz organists may love it but the repetitive phrases are sometimes just so repetitive that I wondered if the groove was stuck in the actual groove!
As with most of the Record Store Day releases the package includes a glossy 16-page booklet.
One of those try before you buy situations. Lance
Theme From Electric Surfboard; Three Blind Mice; Ain't no Sunshine; I 'm Getting Sentimental Over You; Blues 1 & 8; Unknown; The Jolly Black Giant; Middle Class Folk Song; 6:30 in the Morning; Broadway (incomplete)
