VA - Groovy Jazz Organ (3 CD, 2014/FLAC)

 

The Organ can often take a back seat in the pecking order of great Jazz instruments but under appreciate it at your peril. The likes of Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, Booker T and Ray Charles, to name but a few, made the instrument their own while crafting Jazz cuts of dazzling brilliance.
