Jimmy McGriff, "The Last Minute"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are on the East Coast 'organ circuit' for Jimmy McGriff's "The Last Minute", produced by Joe Lederman and first released in 1963 on the "One Of Mine" LP by Juggy Murray's Sue label...

"Philadelphia-born blues organist Jimmy McGriff eventually moved to Newark and signed with the New York City based Sue Label in 1962. In the early 1960s, there was a thriving organ-based jazz scene amongst the black communities on the US East Coast, with numerous small clubs having their own 'in house' Hammond B3 organ. When released on UK Sue in 1964, this one was a big favourite with the pirate radio stations - rightly so !" - KV
