Title: A Prestige-ous Compilation!
Review: I didn't really know much about Jack McDuff's work but was always curious so I decided to pick up this compilation which is comprised of 14 live and studio cuts made between 1960 and 1965. It looks like I made the right choice. This one C-O-O-K-S for the full 79 minutes!! And what a supporting cast with such names as Gene Ammons, George Benson, Kenny Burrell and Grant Green just to name a few!This one is good from start to finish. It's an excellent introduction to McDuff and it compels me to want to explore his work further whether it be the recordings from which these tracks were drawn or those outside of what's contained here.If you're into organ-driven small combos, you can't go wrong with this one. Jack McDuff is smokin'!!
