Hot Barbeque, 1966
Written by Jack McDuff
I've never heard of this jazz organist, who has faded from view in recent years, but he sure can put on a party. This instrumental is funk- and R&B-laced jazz with plenty of '60s bop, daddy-o. The group gets into the groove with a rollicking drum pattern that tastefully combines crisp snare and hits toms with McDuff's organ, over sly guitar glissandos. Sandwiched between the catchy theme are both enthusiastiuc, rough-and-ready shouts from the group ("Hot barbecue today!") as well as short, fiery solos from the organ, guitar, and sax.
