Hello All!
Залит Brother_Jack_McDuff/(1962)_Screamin'
Я вообще люблю звук Хаммонда В3. А кто у нас - один из столпов игры на этом
инструменте? Конечно же - Джек МакДафф!
Альбом был выбран наугад методом ненаучного тыка в список из доброй сотни
альбомов этого исполнителя. Промахнуться тут невозможно потому, что неудачных
дисков у него нет.
Хэммонд + сакс + контрабас + ударные. Все - профессионалы высочайшей пробы.
Совершенно заводные мелодии, ловишь себя на том, что начинаешь притоптывать в
такт буквально с первых звуков.
Да, ремастер, поэтому и звук собран просто отлично.
ВЕСЬМА ВЕСЬМА ВЕСЬМА РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!

Eugene McDuff (September 17, 1926 - January 23, 2001), known professionally as
"Brother" Jack McDuff or "Captain" Jack McDuff, was an American jazz organist
and organ trio bandleader who was most prominent during the hard bop and soul
jazz era of the 1960s, often performing with an organ trio. He is also credited
with giving guitarist George Benson his first break.
Born Eugene McDuffy in Champaign, Illinois, McDuff began playing bass,
appearing in Joe Farrell's group. Encouraged by Willis Jackson in whose band he
also played bass in the late 1950s, McDuff moved to the organ and began to
attract the attention of Prestige while still with Jackson's group. McDuff soon
became a bandleader, leading groups featuring a young George Benson on guitar,
Red Holloway on tenor saxophone and Joe Dukes on drums.
McDuff recorded many classic albums on Prestige, including his debut solo
Brother Jack in 1960; The Honeydripper (1961), with tenor saxophonist Jimmy
Forrest and guitarist Grant Green; Brother Jack Meets The Boss (1962),
featuring Gene Ammons; Screamin’ (1962), with alto saxophonist Leo Wright
and guitarist Kenny Burrell; and Brother Jack McDuff Live! (1963), featuring
Holloway and Benson, which includes his biggest hit, "Rock Candy".
After his tenure at Prestige, McDuff joined the Atlantic label for a brief
period, and in the 1970s he recorded for Blue Note. To Seek a New Home (1970)
was recorded in England with a line-up featuring blues shouter Jimmy
Witherspoon and some of Britain's top jazz musicians of the day, including
Terry Smith on guitar and Dick Morrissey on tenor saxophone.
Decreasing interest in jazz and blues during the late 1970s and 1980s meant
that many jazz musicians went through a lean time. But in 1988, with The
Re-Entry, recorded for the Muse label, McDuff once again began a successful
period of recordings, initially for Muse, then on the Concord Jazz label in
1991. George Benson appeared on his 1992 Color Me Blue album.
Despite health problems, McDuff continued working and recording throughout the
1980s and 1990s, and he toured Japan with Atsuko Hashimoto in 2000. "Captain"
Jack McDuff, as he later became known, died of heart failure at the age of 74
in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Jack McDuff was among hundreds of artists whose material was destroyed in the
2008 Universal fire.
