4.0 out of 5 stars
Mr. Bluesorgan's burning live date, February 1, 2006
This review is from: At the Apollo (Audio CD)
This 1963 Sue Records live album from Harlem's legendary Apollo Theater, and Jimmy McGriff's third recording under his own name according to [...],is a surprisingly fresh and steamin'B3 blues groove session. His 1963 working band works fine together but as individuals these musicians don't stand out and provide many memorable moments. McGriff shows that he's already a master of blues- and soul organ and particulary on "There Will Never Be Another You" you hear his playing tribute to his mentor - Jimmy Smith. McGriff originals like "The Decon" works best for the group and the swing is always present in McGriff's roaring B3. Why not start in chronological order when collecting McGriff albums - this CD is a must!
