AVID Jazz continues with its Four Classic Album series with a re-mastered 2CD release from Jack McDuff & Bill Jennings, both together and separately and complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details
“Enough Said”; “Glide On’”; “Tough Duff” and “Brother Jack”
AVID Jazz continues its mission to re-instate some of the lesser known or perhaps under-appreciated jazz musicians from the golden age of jazz. Here we feature Hammond organist, Jack McDuff playing together with and, apart from, (“Tough Duff”), his frequent collaborator, the under-rated and hopefully (thanks to us folks at AVID!) no longer under- appreciated jazz guitarist Bill Jennings. Together the pair concocted a fresh approach to jazz incorporating a more bluesy feel, driven by Bill’s guitar stylings. Check out: Jimmy Smith (AMSC1321), Classic Organists (AMSC1306), Jackie Davis (AMSC1202), Tal Farlow (AMSC1086), Jimmy Forrest (AMSC1096), Lem Winchester (AMSC1161), Grant Green (AMSC1065), Tiny Grimes (AMSC1188), Mundell Lowe (AMSC1333) and Larry Young (AMSC1204).
