B3 Conspiracy: Sleeping Lions

Read "Sleeping Lions" reviewed by Nicholas F. Mondello


There's something magnificently earthy and earth-moving about the sounds emanating from a Hammond B3 organ, especially when it's in great hands. Marvelous players such as Jimmy Smith, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Richard “Groove" Holmes and Joey DeFrancesco lead the B3 parade. B3 Conspiracy's Sleeping Lions is a doubly delicious dose of organ-driven jazz: not only is there ...

Brother Jack McDuff: Who Knows What Tomorrow's Gonna Bring?

Read "Who Knows What Tomorrow's Gonna Bring?" reviewed by Germein Linares


Though originally released by Blue Note, Brother Jack McDuff's '71 album Who Knows What Tomorrow's Gonna Bring? came after the venerable jazz label's glory days in hard bop and post bop. An album with far more funk and soul than swing and bop, this excellent first-time CD reissue by San Francisco-based Water finds McDuff's organ paired ...

Read "The Concert McDuff" reviewed by David Rickert

Brother Jack McDuff: Bringin' It Home

Read "Bringin' It Home" reviewed by Jack Bowers


Another funky, blues–drenched date by Hammond B–3 impresario Brother Jack McDuff and an assortment of intrepid soulmates who excel at bringin’ it home (and cookin’ it with the appropriate seasonings and garnishes). Every recording by McDuff is in a sense predictable, as one knows in advance that there’ll be an abundant supply of down–home music with ...

Brother Jack McDuff: Bringin' It Home

Read "Bringin' It Home" reviewed by Ed Kopp


Over the course of a nearly 40-year career, Jack McDuff's recorded output has been consistently good if unspectacular, and this latest release is no exception. On Bringin' It Home, the 72-year-old Hammond B-3 organist reunites with some of the ex-sidemen he helped to make famous: George Benson (guitar), Red Holloway (tenor sax), and Mark Whitfield (guitar).
