Brother Jack McDuff was one of the finest Hammond B-3 organ performers, and BROTHERLY LOVE would be his last recording session. He is joined in duet with Joey DeFrancesco on organ, and together, they are a powerhouse of performing skills that knows no endings, only perfections!

There are 9 songs in the collection. Among the songs, "Hot Barbecue," "Vas Dis," "Georgia," "April In Paris," "Time's Marchin' On," and "Rock Candy."

Everything about BROTHERLY LOVE is good jazz listening. The performers and the performances are topnotch. Each song is expressive and enjoyable. "Santa Amalia" is an example of how fine a Hammond B-3 organ can sound in the hands of a master musician such as Brother Jack McDuff.

If you like the jazz of Brother Jack McDuff, if you like excellent Hammond B-3 organ music, if you like jazz with a wry sense of humor, if you want to be entertained, purchase a copy of BROTHERLY LOVE.

This is McDuff at his finest! Great jazz entertainment.
