JACK MCDUFF / 'BABY FACE' WILLETTE / RICHARD HOLMES & GENE AMMONS / FREDDIE ROACH - Jazz Organists - Four Classic Albums

AVID Jazz is proud to introduce an exciting new addition to our Four Classic Album series, Four Classic Jazz Instrumentalists. We continue with Four Classic Jazz Organists, a re-mastered 2CD set complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details.“Jack McDuff: The Honeydripper”; “Baby Face Willette: Face To Face”; Richard “Groove” Holmes: Groovin’ With The Jug” (with Gene Ammons) and “Freddie Roach: Down To Earth”.For our next release in this new series we have chosen a diverse range of jazz organists who released their albums from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. Jack McDuff, perhaps better known as Brother Jack McDuff, he began his career playing bass before moving on to the Hammond B3 organ and being signed to the Prestige record label where he made a number of fine albums in the hard bop/soul jazz style. Our selection “The Honeydripper” is perhaps the finest of his early recordings and features Jimmy Forrest (AMSC1096) on tenor and Grant Green (AMSC1065) on guitar.
