Subtle But Groovin' Soul Jazz StarAppreciationThanks Brother Jack McDuff by Dave Stryker(Since the links above jump to farther down this page, please wait until it completes loading to use them.Jack McDuff was born Eugene McDuffy, and taught himself to play piano and organ, but later studied for a time at college in Cincinnati.He began playing professionally as a bass player with pianist Denny Zeitlin and reeds player Joe Farrell, then led his own group as a pianist in the Midwest in the early 1950s.Encouraged by Jackson, he began to concentrate on Hammond organ, and made his recording debut as leader with Brother Jack for Prestige in 1960, the first in a string of classic soul jazz releases for that label.System, were established as a major force in the organ world.McDuff recorded for Blue Note in the late 1960s, but the rise of soul and funk music had pushed soul jazz off the juke boxes by that time, while fusion took root in jazz itself.The 1970s and 1980s proved a leaner time for the music.Colour Me Blue album in 1992).McDuff was also a notable arranger, composer and band leader, and recorded over 60 albums under his own name.Rahsaan Roland Kirk, among others.ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jack McDuff Dies in Minneapolis.He pointed out the elements that are universally common to us all.Benson, Holloway and drummer Joe Dukes.Here it is, less than 12 hrs.The Showmans club is a very simple place
When you walk into the door, the first thing that you see, to your right is a very long bar with a mirror that runs the full length of the bar.They were all there for the same reason I was, to pay tribute to one of the GREATEST organ players in history, Jack McDuff!!!!!!!!!!There was SERIOUS conversation going on, SERIOUS drinking going on and BLASTING in the background was some SERIOUS FUNK.This was the type of FUNK that the older people in the neighborhood that I grew up in would be playing on their record players when they had their "Saturday Night Fish Fry's".Once inside, we talked about the way that the people inside were bonded to each other, most seemed to know each other and at times it felt like we had crashed a party of.Perhaps even more so it was a community celebrating a Harlem music scene that barely exists anymore, that they have to wonder what the future holds.As we left (we had to after an hour and a half, we couldn't breathe anymore) and walked to where the car was parked, Mike said" I gotta come back here again" and I said "yeah me too, this place is badd, as a matter of fact, they are having Gloria Lynne here tomorrow night.McDuff's style is unique because he often plays his organ more like a piano, with short notes, rather than the long phrases associated with the instrument (think weddings and funerals).McDuff team had a special interplay that showed them both off to good advantage and helped launch Benson into orbit.Hear Jack McDuff and similar artists on this channel.Often compared
to Jimmy Smith, Jack's playing really had little to do with Jimmy's, other
than the basic sound and method.His original compositions were unique, and on a level
with much more famous composers such as Duke Ellington and Basie, who was
a major influence.Style: His blues licks sounded
kind of standard until you tried to play one of them.Also, he swang in a way that was
immediately recognizable.He had his own brand of time, especially in his
basslines.To one
who is open to hearing it, he regularly put his heart on his sleeve for
a crowd.On
the other hand, he could go from this to the sounds of intense pain in
a few seconds.You won't hear this discussed on any jazz documentary, because nobody
knows how it's done.This clip illustrates everything I have
been trying to say about the man and his wonderful playing.Please enjoy
them and think of his contributions as you contemplate his talent.Parts of these clips have
been featured previously on my site, but for the first time, they are presented
complete and unedited.Jack McDuff's Leslie 147 bass speaker was
ripped; such is life on the road.Just consider it part of his funky tone.No noise reduction
is used except on Jack's brief opening comment, which is still very noisy
due to the fact that I had to turn it way up just to make it audible.The head is a poppish, slightly
funkish romp, though in a minor key.After pausing barely long
enough to turn on the vibrato and take a breath, Jack launches into THE
definitive version of his old classic, "Another Goodun," many times better
than any recorded version.Here you will hear him play a solo improvisation
on a blues in the key of G that shows that he could play far more stuff
than is commonly thought, including chromatic runs and flights outside
of the key center.There is a moment where he simply stops playing with
a jerk, then restarts, in tribute to a beautiful waitress who walked in
front of him.As the band comes in, you can
hear the tremendous excitement generated in the crowd.McDuff was originally a bassist who worked with pianist Denny Zeitlin, Joe Farrell, Eddie Chamblee, Johnny Griffin, and Max Roach.George Benson and Red Holloway were members of his band.McDuff recorded many sessions for Prestige from 1960 to 1966.The fact that 13 CDs of his recordings have been reissued at this writing is a testament to the continuing popularity of his accessible music.Leo Wright and guitarist Kenny Burrell joining McDuff and his longtime drummer Joe Dukes.Red Holloway and Harold Vick are both on tenors on Live!The quartet with Benson, Holloway, and Joe Dukes is documented on Legends of Acid Jazz, Prelude (which also utilizes a big band arranged by Benny Golson), The Soulful Drums, and The Concert McDuff.Please read our Privacy Policy.Jack McDuff (Harold Vick) Soul Summit Vol.
