A miraculous bandleader and organist as intimately as able arranger, "Sidekick" Jack McDuff has one of the funkiest, almost soulful styles of all time on the Hammond B-3. His rock-solid bass lines and blues-drenched solos ar balanced by clever, near pianistic melodies and interesting progressions and phrases. McDuff began as a bassist playing with Denny Zeitlin and Joe Farrell. He studied privately in Cinncinnati and worked with Johnny Griffin in Chicago. He taught himself electronic organ and piano in the mid-'50s, and began gaining attention working with Willis Jackson in the late '50s and early '60s, slip high caliber soul-jazz dates for Prestige. McDuff made his recording debut as a leader for Prestige in 1960, playing in a studio pickup band with Jimmy Forrest. They made a mate of prominent albums: Tough Duff and The Honeydripper. McDuff organised his own circle the next twelvemonth, featuring Harold Vick and drummer Joe Dukes. Things took off when McDuff hired a edward Young guitar player named George Benson. They were among the nigh popular combos of the mid-'60s and made several excellent albums. McDuff's later groups at Atlantic and Cadet didn't match the level of the Benson band, piece later dates for Verve and Cadet were uneven, though generally sound. McDuff experimented with electronic keyboards and spinal fusion during the '70s, then in the '80s got back in the rut with the Muse session Cap'n Jack. While his wellness fluctuated end-to-end the '90s, McDuff released several discs on the Concord Jazz label before succumbing to heart failure on January 23, 2001, at the age of 74.

Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, Searching For The Hows And Whys Album Review
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly
Searching For The Hows And Whys
Album Review
With his debut album ‘The Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager’, the artist otherwise known as Sam Duckworth garnered critical acclaim and relative commercial success. Fans can catch him at several festivals across the summer, including T In The Park, Wireless and Bestival.
Having got himself noticed with his first record, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly uses this album to truly express himself but lyrically and musically. Of course there are the expected acoustic tracks (‘Postcards From Catalunya’ and ‘Moving Forward’ feature beautiful riffs), but horns are used effectively on the tale of puppy love that is ‘Young And Lovestruck’ and Prodigy-esque beats are mixed with strings for ‘Waiting For The Monster To Drown’. Perhaps most successful is the Latin-flavoured ‘The Children Are (The Consumers) Of The Future’, which as the title suggests is an attack on capitalism and consumer culture.
Where Duckworth stands apart from many of his peers is that he is a fantastic writer of lyrics and this is cemented on this record. The duet with Kate Nash 'Better Things’, finely details the darker side to fame and groupies, but if this seems small-minded to anyone, a listen to ‘I Could Build You A Tower’ should convince you he is capable of much more. Introduced by news clips, it tackles the subjects of recent wars, terrorism and school massacres, before questioning the human nature that allows these atrocities to happen. The result is a stunning song which truly marks this artist to be someone of great potential and musicianship.
