So Blue, So Funky - Volume One
I have always loved the funky organ Blue Note albums...whether Jimmy McGriff or John Patton and here is the first collection for the Masters of the Hammond series. This double vinyl set from Blue Note is just killer featuring some of the grooviest songs from the grooviest of groovers......
Artists include Jimmy McGriff, John Patton, Jimmy Smith, Freddie Roach, Fred Jackson, Larry Young, Lou Donaldson, Grant Green and Reuben Wilson.
Although I have a lot of these albums I still just love this compilation from start to finish!
First great volume in this series that focuses on the brilliant organ
players in the Blue Note catalog, with a mix of grooves that ranges from
hard funky playing to more complicated Coltrane-esque lines. Tracks
include "Plaza De Toros" by Larry Young, "Brown Sugar" by Freddie Roach,
"Silver Metre" by John Patton, "Ain't It Funky Now" by Grant Green,
"Butter (Fo Yo Popcorn)" by Jack McDuff, "Boop Bop Bing Bash" by George
Braith, and "Face To Face" by Babyface Willette. Plus, this LP set
includes 2 tracks not on the CD – "Hot Rod" by Reuben Wilson and "Wine,
Wine, Wine" by Freddie Roach!
