I love the stuff Jack did with

George Benson & Pat Martino.....

also the Willis Jackson grooves with them....

There's those who sit there & enjoy the atmosphere & there's those who really listen & realize real music is being played.

I think the musician knows that both living with the atmosphere (macro - telescope) & studying the music (micro - microscope) are fine, but the key is always the environment being provided or listen first with the macro ear first before the micro.

Great video Bopplayer.

I loved it when Moko Bovo played & talked between sets as the atmosphere was always maintained.

Sometimes the atmsosphere is great at an upscale place like the Dakota, but equally as great at the old Artist Quarter, a dingy smelly little joint with great hot wings and Dago sandwiches.

Right at 3:58 Jack plays his famous lick that he called: "Abada"

Great Video. Billy Holloman, Captain Jack, Roberta Davis... most fun I ever had was playing at the Spruce Club.

That's D.T., Donald Thomas on drums. Don't get no better.

This is obviously at the Old Dakota in St Paul, before they Moved to Minneapolis.

For many years Billy Holloman held down Tuesday nights at the Artists' Quarter in St Paul (He recorded a CD there too), now Bill Brown is doing it. I really miss Jack, his years in the Twin Cities gave me many opportunities to hear him - at the Artists' Quarter, Dakota, Blues Alley and the festivals. Jack McDuff was one of the giants. Thanks for posting this.

Billy Holloman

Billy Holloman matured over the years into a fantastic jazz organist. In the '60s MPLS was a Hammond B3 city with musicians sitting in at the Blue Note Lounge, the Ebony, The Cozy,the American Legion Post and VFW Post in St. Paul. Late Walter Thornton, the Frank Edwards trio,the Bobby Lyle trio, these were the mentors of Billy Holloman, Hubert (D-Train) Eaves and others. McDuff came to town in the mid 80s and made the Twin Cities his last home for 7-8 years until he died. RIP Brother Jack!

Also Tim Sparks on Guitar

You know, I used to play gigs where we'd switch organists between choruses and keep the bass going, and I must say, not many organists can boast to being thin enough to squeeze between a Leslie and Hammond that close together... pretty impressive... This footage is really rare... great to get to see it... Its tragic that so little footage of Brother Jack in action exists... :-(
