Product description

Jimmy McGriff's "Electric Funk" is a groovy journey into the world of jazz funk, soul jazz, hard bop, and jazz blues, all wrapped up in a tight 32-minute package. Recorded in September 1969 and released in January 1970 under Blue Note Records, this album is a testament to McGriff's mastery of the organ and his knack for creating infectious, soulful tracks.

The album kicks off with "Back On The Track," setting the tone for the rest of the record with its upbeat tempo and catchy riffs. "Chris Cross" and "Miss Poopie" follow, each offering a unique blend of funk and soul that showcases McGriff's versatility. "The Bird Wave" and the two-part "Spear For Moondog" delve into more experimental territory, while "Tight Times," "Spinning Wheel," and "Funky Junk" bring the album to a close with a series of hard-hitting, funky tracks that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head.

"Electric Funk" is one of McGriff's strongest albums, packed with greasy grooves and slinky soul jazz that highlight his impressive skills as a musician. Whether you're a longtime fan of Jimmy McGriff or a newcomer to his music, this album is sure to impress with its tight playing, infectious rhythms, and soulful melodies. So sit back, turn up the volume, and let the electric funk of Jimmy McGriff take you away.

This is a 1997 Reissue released as a LP.

  • McGriff's Electric Funk Brilliance

    5 out of 5 stars
    RxVetoaJuly 25, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Among McGriff's finest works, this September '69 recording is brimming with slick grooves and sultry soul jazz. "Chris Cross", "The Bird Wave", "Funky Junk", and both parts of "Spear For Moondog" truly shine, but ELECTRIC FUNK delivers top-notch tracks throughout, thanks to Horace Ott's composition of over half the songs and his lively arrangements. This pressing is excellent, boasting a rich, full sound, with horns that pack a punch, a superb organ, and crisp, clear drums and guitar. My copy is in great condition, with only a hint of surface noise.

    DazzafvonjMarch 20, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Should perfection be a thing, this is what it'd sound like! A FROZEN ASSASSIN FROM BEGINNING TO END, in my view, it's one of the top 3 Jazz-Funk albums ever crafted (alongside Reuben Wilson's - The Sweet Life and Donald Byrd's - Street Lady, just saying).And this pressing is OUT OF THIS WORLD !!!I'm lost for words to depict this Masterpiece... So, let's let our ears do the talking!

    RajguyxoklMarch 20, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Should perfection be a thing, this is what it'd sound like! A FROZEN-HEARTED BEAST from beginning to end, easily ranking among the top 3 Jazz-Funk albums ever crafted (alongside Reuben Wilson's 'The Sweet Life' and Donald Byrd's 'Street Lady', in my not-so-humble view). And this pressing? OUTSTANDING!!! I'm lost for words to capture this Masterpiece... So, let's let our ears do the talking!
