Final McGriff Sue Records Album
5 out of 5 stars
HxWiheaAugust 23, 2024United Kingdom🇬🇧
This happens to be the final Jimmy McGriff album put out by Sue Records prior to his collaboration with Sonny Lester at Solid State, a team-up that endured close to ten years. It's also somewhat of a bridge record, staying true to its name, featuring less upbeat tracks and a significant focus on more contemplative, blues-infused pieces. This pressing delivers a crisp, cozy, personal stereo soundstage. My copy plays with some widespread light surface hiss, and there's a brief stretch of a couple spins (around 20 seconds) on "Bump De Bump" that are spoiled by a scratch causing a skip de skip.
