Click on the link here for Audio Player – Brother Jack McDuff – Ain’t It – 1968 – Chess Records
Easing into something a little more contemporary (if the 60s are contemporary . . .) with the legendary Brother Jack McDuff and a single he cut for Chess Records in 1968.
McDuff was a consummate genius of the keyboards – going back and forth between Jazz, Funk and Soul – and leaving an indelible mark on each. That he hasn’t gotten the far-reaching recognition that Jimmy Smith has is something of a mystery. But McDuff’s fans are legion and his music is timeless.
If you aren’t familiar with him – I beg you to check out his prodigious output. You can start almost anywhere and find something that will blow you away.
And tonight’s single is a good start.
And while you’re digging these sounds, consider kicking in a buck or two to keep Past Daily up and running and keeping the Archive preserving and digitizing. For pennies a day you can dive into history and come up with all kinds of amazement – and music you may be discovering for the first time.
