BROTHER JACK MEETS THE BOSS effectively blends sophisticated hard bop with blues-soaked soul-jazz. Tenor-sax luminary Gene Ammons and Hammond B-3 stylist Jack McDuff join forces on this excellent 1962 session, churning up infectious swing, harmonically inventive solos, and plenty of grits-and-gravy down-home goodness in the funky grooves and bluesy feeling. McDuff's quintet also includes drummer Joe Dukes, guitarist Eddie Diehl, and saxophonist Harold Vick, and provides taut support for the explorations of both McDuff and Ammons. The program includes three McDuff originals, including the charged bop workout "Watch Out," and the Horace Silver tune "Strollin'," with its breezy, mid-tempo groove and a round of fine solo spots. There is plenty of stretching out here, but what dominates is the overall mood--an earthy, mellow ease that is equal parts subtlety, swing, and musical invention, spearheaded by McDuff's swirling B-3 and Ammon's full-toned sax attack.
