Blue to the Bone
Despite unimaginative song selection, organist Jimmy McGriff's studio encounter with ex-Count Basie blues trombonist Al Grey is a success. McGriff's walking bass pedals, Grey's struttin' work, and limpid, unforced blues grooves defined by guitarist Melvin Sparks and drummer Bernard Purdie converge in a swell of enthusiasm.-- © Frank John Hadley 1993--From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
