Brother Jack McDuff • The Honeydripper




The Honeydripper is the third album by organist Jack McDuff recorded in 1961 and released on the Prestige label. Guitarist Grant Green, who previously recorded with Sam Lazar, is part of the stellar line-up, as is saxophone legend Jimmy Forrest. wiki

Review by Thom Jurek
The date featured the big tenor Jimmy Forrest, drummer Ben Dixon, and Grant Green on guitar in his recording debut. Green not only held his own with McDuff on the title track, "Dink's Blues," and "Blues and Tonic," but he plays gorgeous fills and chord voicings in Henry Mancini's "I Want a Little Girl." Green was always more than a sideman as this date attests, and though he was part of the rhythm section, his playing is a standout on this date. McDuff was already in full possession of his voice as an organist, and his hard bop leanings began to subside here as he embraced a more soulful approach, no doubt informed by the effect Jimmy Smith was having on jazz with his crossover. This is an excellent date and should be picked up by anyone interested in McDuff as a great place to start, or for any serious collector.

Reseña de Thom Jurek
La fecha contó con el gran tenor Jimmy Forrest, el baterista Ben Dixon y Grant Green a la guitarra en su debut discográfico. Green no sólo se mantuvo junto a McDuff en el tema que da título al disco, "Dink's Blues", y "Blues and Tonic", sino que toca unos magníficos rellenos y voicings de acordes en "I Want a Little Girl" de Henry Mancini. Green siempre fue algo más que un músico de acompañamiento, como demuestra esta fecha, y aunque formaba parte de la sección rítmica, su forma de tocar destaca en esta fecha. McDuff ya estaba en plena posesión de su voz como organista, y sus inclinaciones hacia el hard bop empezaron a disminuir aquí mientras abrazaba un enfoque más conmovedor, sin duda informado por el efecto que Jimmy Smith estaba teniendo en el jazz con su crossover. Esta es una fecha excelente y debe ser recogida por cualquier persona interesada en McDuff como un gran lugar para empezar, o para cualquier coleccionista serio.
