Jimmy McGriff – Countdown
Jimmy McGriff – Countdown
Countdown finds legendary Hammond organ master Jimmy McGriff at the height of his powers, delivering a rich blend of soul jazz, blues-infused grooves, and hard-swinging improvisation. One of the most influential organists in jazz history, McGriff became renowned for his soulful playing style, helping to define the sound of the Hammond B-3 organ throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
This superb session features a mixture of groove-driven originals and expertly interpreted standards. Highlights include the infectious opener I'm Walkin', the deep-pocket funk of Down For The Count, the swinging Blow Your Horn, and a beautifully expressive reading of Since I Fell For You. Throughout the album, McGriff's unmistakable organ tone is complemented by tight arrangements and first-class musicianship.
Combining elements of jazz, blues, funk, and rhythm & blues, Countdown is an essential addition for collectors of soul jazz, Hammond organ classics, and fans of artists such as Jimmy Smith, Brother Jack McDuff, and Richard Holmes.
