Amazing! This gets my vote for one of the greatest music videos on KZbin. Jack McDuff's left hand is incredible. Never heard George's chicken clucking lick before, wonderful. All these guys are virtuosos.

Good lord, Jack McDuff is about to melt that keyboard! No fooling around, or warm-up - he and the guys come busting out of the gate with a burner. It's just so impressive watching how he holds down the bass with his left hand and plays the changes and lines with his right. That's real talent right there! And how unusual to see George Benson playing a solid-body Les Paul! Don't see that every day. The underrated Red Holloway and Joe Dukes in great form, too.

@@lc4002 - "Most" being the key word. You've really got your game together when you can blast off like that from the jump. Of course, we can tell ourselves he warmed up behind stage, right? ; ) Jazz is one of the most-Darwinian musical environments on earth. If you don't have your act together folks are going to find out right quick, because there's no place to hide. You haven't lived until you've heard the bandleader or head of the jam call a fast tune which cycles through all twelve keys in the cycle of fifths/fourths. Ask me how I know! (got the scars to prove it). Anyway, easy to see how young GB was forced to get his chops together.... Brother Jack was leaning on him pretty hard every night.

This is what I grew up listening too! Was depressed, surrounded by my instruments here out in the woods. Looked up Brother jack Mcduff, feeling much better now. I played in a trio back in the 60s in Newark, a few clubs with Richie McCrea-another phenominal B-3 player (I was on drums) in the same neighborhood as big Joe Williams and George Benson, I met big Joe the sweetest nicest gentleman even though I was a skinny little white boy he shook my hand and smiled, never forgot that. I missed meeting George Benson who lived down the street. What an experience being in that circuit for at least a month or so. I had no union card (I was only 18, just got a car to drive my drums around in) and i couldn't play those clubs anymore until I got one-I was carded in a club. Pissed those guys off no end! These guys-had the fire. Anybody can play nowadays-but few I've seen have that fire anymore. You had to, or you wouldn't work. I had to play my b***s off to earn my keep as a little white boy in all those black clubs, look at my competition back then, this drummer is on fire too. God I miss it!

My dad introduced me to the music of Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Richard Groove Holmes and others back in the late 1960's, early 70's. I'm 72 now and still enjoying this type of music. With the recent passing of Joey DeFrancesco, the number of artists playing the Hammond B-3 organ is shrinking.

George Benson was getting his education playing on the jazz circuit with one of the several Hammond B-3 masters, Brother Jack McDuff, along with the excellent saxophonist Red Holloway, and drummer, Joe Dukes. Benson however, added to the life of one of McDuff's greatest live albums, "Live at the Key Club" doing Rock Candy and a Real Goodun. The circuit was tight, and you had to play your ax in those days in thos little night clubs but back in the 60s and through the mid-70s those were the good old days. The Blue Note, Mpls, The Key Club, Newark, Flukies, Chicago, OG's Kansas City, Club Baby Grand, Harlem, NYC, and so many more that memory fails to serve me. But they were the circuit, with so much soul, pretty cars, pretty women, and, and, and, so much more that time has passed on by.

This live magic you speak of was an everyday affair in the racially segregated years in the U.S. where these chaps played on the so called "Chitlin Circuit" and we were their audience cheering them on. However, as a young cat I thought they were some of the best, most liveliest days, where the music was raw, "straight-no chaser". The Europeans appreciated it that way too, but in America it had to be watered down to be accepted and the only way these artists could make some real money. I did not care for the cross over stuff, but the hungry days when the music was driving and raw and the rooms were crowded and no bigger than a closet was the most exciting days for me.

@ Alex S. - You figure at a large outdoor gig like this, highly-amplified, that maybe Benson needed to play a solid-body, or at least a semi-hollow design, to keep from feeding back. Maybe he hadn't discovered that old trick that arch-top players use - to stuff foam into their sound-holes to deaden the feedback. Of course, as long as he was a straight-ahead jazz guy, maybe this wasn't too huge an issue, since the venues were reasonably compact. But when he became a pop star in the 1970s, and started playing huge arenas and the like, it surely became an issue. By then, Ibanez had come to his rescue. Their jazz guitars sound great, but have tops which are laminated, not solid wood, so do not feedback as much as a carved top instrument.

As a person who was born in the mid 1970's and grew up in the 1980's & 1990's, I'm having a hard time believing that George Benson had been on the scene since the 1960's Motown Era & Stax (Otis Redding), The British Acts, James Brown. even Sam Cooke was still alive around this time, because when I think of him I think of his hit records that I grew up on in the 1980's like "Give Me The Night" & "Turn Your Love Around", but this is historically accurate. Nice piece of history here.

Got to see Capt. Jack McDuff, as he was known in the 90s, a few times at a little dive blues joint in Minneapolis called Blues Alley. The house band was Jimi "Prime Time" Smith, and he and Big Walter Smith would sometimes come down and sit in. Big Walter was a regular at the Uptown Famous Dave's rib joint. I was just turning on to the Blues back then, and little did I know who I was seeing.

(How do YOU spell "ferocious?") Break-neck Blues, played by a classic Jazz Organ Quartet (tenor, guitar, Hammond, and drums), in this case, the one that put George Benson on the map. (The beginning of Benson's future success as a Pop Star is eleven years in the future from this performance; coincidentally, Holloway is eight years away from joining John Mayall's "Jazz/Blues Fusion" band.) Three interesting features here: Formally, each soloist comes in on the last four bars of the previous soloist's chorus (I've never heard that before); The Jazz counterpoint between the four of them, which begins at 6:37, is stunning; I'd always assumed, when listening to Brother Jack's records, that the bass parts were his feet, kicking pedals... I am absolutely blown away to see that the bass parts are in fact played by his left hand. And, most miraculous of all: These four guys are having the best time, being this good, in front of an audience.

McDuff In NY with his trio What a tremendous Musician he was and Great Person. And also Jimmy McGriff in Boston Whew just magic I've been very lucky they were my inspiration to play with B3 Hammond Cats. This Is tremendous with Joe Dukes on his Beautiful CAMCO Drums just Killin it. to have seen Jimmy Smiths with the great Grady Tate on Drums . Even to this day Seeing Chester Thomson with T.O.P is so mind-blowing. Sadly the B3 the Old Big Bodied frame Hammond with Leslie Speakers has d faded away. Such a Fantastic Sound Truly will be missed.

What gets me is this. At some point in Benson’s life, he went through a radical acceleration in his musical growth. The question is, what fueled that? I’ve been looking for “that“ for my entire life.

Just my opinion, but I think the quick answer is Hank Garland. Check out Hank’s “all the things you are” and all you’ll hear is George Benson... In interviews George gives it up to Hank Garland...

First you have to be able to play your instrument at a very high level, understand chord changes, and play with people who are at a higher level than you. If you do that long enough, eventually, you will become the inspiration for others. As a young drummer, I was fortunate to be on the stand when Cedar Walton and Doug Watkins walked into the club and sat in. They lifted me into another realm. I felt like I was looking down, watching myself play and it was effortless.

So good!!! It's funny that the C3 doesn't match the bench. Newer Hammond with a 50's bench. Everyone talks Jimmy Smith, but forgets the GREAT Brother Jack!! I'd like it 100 times if I could.

Had an A100 myself. Wasn't aware the C3 had percussion. I've heard of this guy but never saw him till now. Did he predate Jimmy? His combo's style is jazzier, more technical and cerebral than Jimmy's, and I'm not a fan of technique that calls attention to itself. Like that old saying goes, the art lies in concealing the art.
