I have no idea who was playing with him back then but would be extra interested if it was someone on sax that I recognize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertoart Posted October 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Info on the Doodlin Lounge advises they have had to review the personal after the vinyl had been already pressed. Henry Johnson has confirmed it is not he playing on the recording. Whoever the guitarist is I will be interested to know. They have a great feel, lots of fine chromatic style runs a'la Benson and Martino, interspersed with some overt Blues phrasing and string bending. Indeed the guitarist does not sound like a young Henry Johnson. They almost have echoes of George Freeman at times, but it's definitely not Freeman to my ear. It is believed Garrick King is the drummer. Edited October 17, 2022 by robertoart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 https://www.dustygroove.com/item/122190 Dusty hype: A fantastic lost link in the jazz legacy of Hammond hero Brother Jack McDuff – and a set that shows that he was still really kicking it strongly in the clubs during his later years, even if some of his records didn't always have the right groove! As on his 60s live recordings for Prestige Records, the vibe here is wonderful – in part thanks to drummer Garrett King, who was a regular partner in McDuff's group – and who always had the same sort of sharp, sometimes-playful sense of rhythm as the great Joe Dukes – Jack's famous drummer from the 60s. Together, the pair alone are a real treat here – really setting each other off as they groove back and forth – while Henry Johnson brings in some great work on guitar, and Danny Wollinski completes the group on tenor. We saw some killer late McDuff sets like this in small clubs, and can definitely promise that the vibe here is the real deal – wonderful work from our favorite Hammond player ever. Titles include "Fly Away", "Deja Vu", "Untitled D Minor", "Blues 1 & 8", "Walkin The Dog", "Another Real Goodun", "Greensleeves", "Killer Joe", and "Make It Good".

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 """""On this week-long visit to Seattle in July of 1982, Jack McDuff brought his own B-3, a well-used early seventies model. It featured a warning sign on the back, in red and black, that said "DANGER" and sported scary lightning bolts. A wise warning. Jack was playing his ass off on these dates! He also brought his Leslie 147, which featured a ripped woofer. The thing sounded fine until he would step on a pedal. "Buzzzzz," it said. He ignored it and played the hell out of the pedals anyway. You should ignore it too. It's funky. We have so far not been able to identify the other musicians who played that week. Jack couldn't remember. There's much suspicion that the superb alto player could be a very young Andrew Beals. The guitarist and drummer are also great, whoever they may be.""""" april make it good - walkin dog greensleeves -starlight gospelette A train wifes/lovers [untitled D min] Satin Tunisia Blues 1 & 8 Gospelette - Anoteh real Goodun Killer Joe April Make it Good Blues in the night Lover man Star Eyes I love you Deja Vu A Train Walkin dog will they also be release Groove Holmes live at parnells 1982 the month prior to jack? groove blues - rainy day dolphin st bluesette 100 ways of makin love starlight- grooves groove moose the mooche licks a plenty MR MAGIC MISTY just once allright w/ me song for father after hours renee jeanine JUST THE TWO OF US Grooves Blues Dolphin st Its impossible Me nd my only love JUST THE TWO OF US grooves groove Moose Summertime MISTY Starlight MR MAGIC 100 ways INDIANA Gemeni Renee Song for father WHen sunny /blue calypso holiday Just friends """" Groove came to Seattle a number of times in the 1980s. The tapes below are the almost complete record of two nights on this first visit in May of 1982. Groove had with him possibly one of the greatest and most storied "organ drummers" of all time, Joe Dukes. Dukes made himself famous on a long series of classic Jack McDuff recordings on Prestige. He was a brilliant nut with absolutely killin' time. Just listen. Speaking of incredible time, take Groove Holmes. Words can't do justice to his playing, and I wish I could comment on every song here, but nobody would read all that. So, about the equipment he brought with him: the B-3 was worn out and the whole thing wobbled back and forth as Groove played it, and his giant size made the organ look tiny. The output from the two manuals was split, which made possible the addition of a Nova Bass unit to the lower manual. This took the organ tones and added synthesized effects to them, then the result was fed to a stomp box called an envelope follower. The funky result was then fed to a wall of Acoustic amplifiers with 15" speakers and horns on top, no Leslies at all. The upper manual had another little stomp box added, a "Leslie effect." Didn't sound like a Leslie, but it added a nice juicy vibrato when wanted. The upper manual also had a wah-wah pedal attached to it, little-used here. --Willie Pettis (guitar)""""" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something weird happening on my PC only? And can't they get the drummer name spelled correctly? It's not Gerryck King in reality? His discogs page shows he played with McDuff among many other fine players like Ray Brown, Red Holloway and Harold Ashby, plus Joe Williams. https://www.discogs.com/artist/430830-Gerryck-King?type=Credits&subtype=Instruments-Performance&filter_anv=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 I first heard some of these tapes years ago in the late 90's when Scott Hawthorn's (organfreak) Geocities page hosted them. he recorded them. They don't sound very good, these casettes but are good music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
