Stands out

Another non-Jack McDuff Jack McDuff CD I like is "Grantstand," one of guitarist Grant Green's greatest sessions, with Brother Jack and saxophonist (also flute) Yusef Lateef accompanying, as well as Al Harewood on drums. The music ranges from the high-energy title track to a version of "My Funny Valentine" where McDuff lets you know he probably spent some time playing in church back home in Champaign-Urbana. These guys just play seamlessly on what is a desert island disk.
