Brother Jack from 1968 on Cadet Records with album supervision by none other than our man at Cadet Richard Evans so you know this album has to be all killer no filler.
This one is brimming with goodies:"Jelly Jam"with a stonking break intro,"Win Lose or Draw","Hold It For A Minute" and "You Sho Walk Funky" -the whole album is a winner.
Here's what Motown 67 had to say about it at Soulstrut.com :
I thought I’d seen most of the Brother Jack McDuff records, but then I came across this gem. Wow is all I can say. I DIG this album. Win Lose Or Draw, Black Is! Jelly Jam (which starts with some funky drums), and You Sho Walk Funky are all banging funky jazz numbers. Hold It For A Minute is more jazz but is also nice, and McDuff even pulls off a good cover of Summertime. This is by far the best McDuff record I own. People, you gotta go find this record and get down.
So you can get down to it with a 320 original vinyl rip here !
For those of you who intend to re-post my link elsewhere don't bother re-upping it as it's pretty obvious it's originally come from Orgy in Rhythm.Just use my link and whether you acknowledge it came from here or not is up to you-I really don't mind ok?
And a big thanks to jazz - neko for the new cover scan-good work fellah!

Thanks for the Brother Jack. Always good to hear him - and this is one I have not come across before.

ahhh man! this is really a nice post,
why is it that work/life/etc intervene when one of my MOST loved artists is released thru your loving hands?! (enough selfish whining...)
bacoso, again, many, many thanks for this. i absolutely am fascinated with mcduff's work. i saw him in concert three times, one of those being with a very, very young george benson; unforgettable and some what of a revelation to see what benson has done since that time.
cheers,

All you have to say is "Cadet" and "1968" and I am SOLD...
Thanks, as always!
another nice slice of funk-and i'm not particularly fond of hammond though... what's wrong with boppin' around?
Outstanding! This site is the best. Keep the cadet coming if possible. I am looking for Eddie Fisher's The Third Cup. (I have it with two gigantic skips.) Also requesting Paint It Black by The Soulful Strings and Afro-Harping by Dorothy Ashby. Thanks again.
Having a bit of trouble finding cover art for this.
Thanks for the music, though!
stonk'n my hansom...:)
Classic. Thanks.
My buddy actually studied with Richard Evans at Berkley (east coast), lucky bastard. I guess that's what he does these days, teaches composition and arranging.
Wow!
Great stuff, both of the last two Jack McDuff albums on the blog.
I haven't heard too many, but everything I have heard on Cadet so far is GREAT!
Can anyone tell me the players on this album and/or Magnetic Feel??
Thanks for Sharing, this blog is building some nice diversity into my music collection!

...dredging the depths of my memory - although i could be mistaken - i recall that the ever-brilliant illinois jacquet is blowing those fine tenor sax notes. if you don't know of him, shame on you (kidding!), you must get to know his work - always brilliant.
does anybody know if my memory is correct?
cheers,
jazz-nekko
...follow up question:
would anybody happen to have McDuff's "To Seek a New Home" (1970)?
this album is supposed to be r-e-a-l-l-y killer! the line-up includes ine-up Jimmy Witherspoon and some top-notch British jazz musicians, e.g. Terry Smith (g) and Dick Morrissey (ts).
please let there be a McDuff god out there!

Brother Jack McDuff does have some nice ones... And this is one of them. Thanks for the up!
This looks strong. Thanks. No link for your buddy J?
