Brother Jack McDuff Live!


Brother Jack McDuff Live! is a live album by jazz organist Jack McDuff, recorded in New Jersey in 1963 and released on the Prestige label. The album is one of the first albums to feature guitarist George Benson; Benson had recorded the novelty blues single "It Should Have Been Me #2" as an 11-year-old in 1954, but he did not record commercially again until he joined McDuff's band in 1963.

Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Scott Mason states,"Brother Jack McDuff Live! is an outstanding album, one of the purest examples ever of quite possibly the finest Hammond B3 organ player in the world".
