Blues has been the backbone of most of the major jazz organists, including Jimmy Smith and Jack McDuff, but throughout his 41-year recording career, McGriff has stuck closer to the blues than any of them. People are always classifying me as a jazz organist, but Im more of a blues organ player, he insists. Thats really what I feel. McGriffs recordings of Ive Got a Woman and All About My Girl were r&b and jukebox staples during the Sixties.
