Backgrounder: Burrell With Brother Jack

Guitarist Kenny Burrell recorded four albums with organist Brother Jack McDuff in late 1962 and '63. The one I'm sharing with you today is Crash!, the last of the bunch that was recorded by Burrell for Prestige in February 1963. It featured Burrell with Harold Vick (ts), Brother Jack McDuff (org), Joe Dukes (d) and Ray Barretto (cga). The album has a great soul groove, and Burrell and McDuff played off each other well, with Vick's tough tenor rolling through like an express train. Plus Dukes keeping time and Barretto adding Latin zest.

Here's Crash! as an ad-free Backgrounder, which should come in particularly handy if you're grilling today.
