Biography :
A marvelous bandleader and organist as well as capable arranger,
"Brother" Jack McDuff has one of the funkiest, most soulful styles of
all time on the Hammond B-3. His rock-solid basslines and blues-drenched
solos are balanced by clever, almost pianistic melodies and interesting
progressions and phrases. McDuff began as a bassist playing with Denny
Zeitlin and Joe Farrell. He studied privately in Cincinnati and worked
with Johnny Griffin in Chicago. He taught himself organ and piano in the
mid-'50s, and began gaining attention working with Willis Jackson in
the late '50s and early '60s, cutting high caliber soul-jazz dates for
Prestige. McDuff made his recording debut as a leader for Prestige in
1960, playing in a studio pickup band with Jimmy Forrest. They made a
pair of outstanding albums: Tough Duff and The Honeydripper. McDuff
organized his own band the next year, featuring Harold Vick and drummer
Joe Dukes. Things took off when McDuff hired a young guitarist named
George Benson. They were among the most popular combos of the mid-'60s
and made several excellent albums. McDuff's later groups at Atlantic and
Cadet didn't equal the level of the Benson band, while later dates for
Verve and Cadet were uneven, though generally good. McDuff experimented
with electronic keyboards and fusion during the '70s, then in the '80s
got back in the groove with the Muse session Cap'n Jack. While his
health fluctuated throughout the '90s, McDuff released several discs on
the Concord Jazz label before succumbing to heart failure on January 23,
2001, at the age of 74. ~ Ron Wynn and Bob Porter.
