Jackson and McDuff Shine
5 out of 5 stars
ThGataeJanuary 28, 2025United States🇺🇸
In this 1960 album, Willis Jackson and McDuff shine together. Standout tracks are "Keep On A' Blowin'", "Blue Strollin'", and "A Smooth One". The 1986 version is fantastic, offering great dynamics and a rich, warm sound. My record is in excellent condition, playing perfectly with no hissing or pops.
