1	Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The exotica revival continues with Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails, the perfect gift for the swinging hipster on your list. Among the highlights: Billy May's "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Mambo," Jimmy McGriff's "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town/White Christmas," Dean Martin's "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," Julie London's sultry "I'd Like ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $4.00!
2	I've Got a Women (1963) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff McGriff's first album is great. The title cut was in the top 20 in 1962. Also on the same album is "M.G. Blues" and "All About My Girl." This session McGriff, Richard Easley on drums and Walter Miller on guitar. Hi-impact early McGriff is the still the best, and this is the album that started it all, on the Sue label. Three cuts available on the ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.28!
3	Groove Grease (1971) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff This 1971 session finds McGriff continuing to do like so many other jazz musicians of the time: embrace and adapt to the emergence of funk and soul into mainstream music, and recontextualize it in a jazz arena. The results are an unsurprisingly delicious slice of jazz-funk made from the finest ingredients. The superb playing of Richard Davis on ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $12.00!
4	Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails, Pt. 2 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Christmas Cocktails, Vol. 2 is an entertaining but unspectacular collection of classic carols performed in a lounge fashion. For connoisseurs of kitsch, it's an entertaining disc, but other listeners might find the camp a little too much to take. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.83! new only from $10.79!
5	The Dream Team (1996) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff Jimmy McGriff moves back to the Milestone label in style with a great soul-jazz quintet, with whom he recorded one of his best Milestone albums, The Starting Five. This time, with no apologies to the notorious O.J. Simpson legal staff, he calls his quintet "the Dream Team" -- and for this kind of music, indeed they are. McGriff strokes his Hammond ... see all copies from $13.78! new only from $13.78!
6	Greatest Hits (1963) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff Blue Note's Greatest Hits doesn't limit itself to the recordings Jimmy McGriff made for the label during the late '60s and early '70s. Instead, it culls from his Sue, Veep, and Solid State recordings as well, making it a definitive overview of his career as a gritty, funky singles artist. And, as Greatest Hits demonstrates, McGriff could create a ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
7	Electric Funk (1969) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff The title of Electric Funk may lead you to believe that it's a set of unrepentant, rampaging hard funk, but that's not quite the case. The record is laid-back but undeniably funky, with Jimmy McGriff and electric pianist Horace Ott leading an unnamed group through a set of soul workouts. It's not jazz, it's jazzy soul, and it's among the funkiest ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
8	Right Turn on Blues (1994) more music like this by Jimmy Mcgriff There was virtually no prior planning for this meeting between organist Jimmy McGriff and altoist Hank Crawford, but none was needed. The veterans had already recorded four prior albums together, so they simply jammed through blues, ballads and a few basic originals without any difficulty; Crawford could play this material blindfolded. McGriff ... see all copies from $4.22! new only from $10.35!
9	Road Tested (1997) more music like this by Hank Crawford & Jimmy McGriff Jimmy McGriff continued on a high roll on his second tour with Milestone, taping another dual-billed soul-jazz album with the redoubtable Hank Crawford. You know what to expect by now -- hardass, down-home, blues-drenched organ trio-plus-sax grooving -- but this is a really potent gusher of that genre, rising to the level of McGriff's idiom ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
10	Giants of the Organ Come Together (1973) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff & Groove Holmes see all copies from $6.74! new only from $6.74!
11 view cover	Big Noise: A Mambo Inn Compilation (1994) more music like this by Various Artists This is the first compilation album from the Mambo Inn, London's pioneering world music club. At times the music is far-reaching in its coverage of areas of the world, although all tracks are made to be extremely danceable. There is a definite leaning toward the Latin sound (ahead of the current "Latin wave"), with a number of mambos and the like. ... see all copies from $3.78! new only from $12.49!
12 view cover	Giants of the Organ in Concert: The Complete Concert (2004) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff & Groove Holmes see all copies from $29.69! new only from $29.69!
13 view cover	Blue Break Beats, Vol. 1 (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Blue Note released the two-volume Blue Break Beats compilation in the early '90s. The music on Blue Break Beats dates from the late '60s and early '70s, when a large portion of Blue Note's soul-jazz artists began experimenting with funk and rock, creating dense electric fusions that concentrated on rhythm, not improvisation. None of this music has ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
14 view cover	Tribute to Count Basie (1966) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff Organist Jimmy McGriff's debut recording for the Solid State label (which has been reissued on a 1996 Laserlight CD) was also his first of many with a big band. McGriff pays tribute to the Count Basie Orchestra by performing ten songs from the Basie book (both of the 1940s and '50s) with a large group that includes many Basie veterans. The ... see all copies from $39.99! new only from $39.99!

16 view cover	Depression Blues: Blues Ballads for Rainy Day (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
17 view cover	On the Blue Side (1989) more music like this by Hank Crawford and Jimmy McGriff One of the most consistent and most soulful of all jazz altoists, Hank Crawford sounds at his best when he has strong melodies to wrap his tone around, and when he can dig into the blues. Both aspects are true during this quartet outing which he co-leads with organist Jimmy McGriff. Crawford sounds particularly strong on "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
18 view cover	Feelin' It (2001) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff Some older jazzmen like to feature a lot of young unknowns -- they figure that because someone gave them a break when they were young, they should do the same thing now that they're well established. While that is admirable, there is also something to be said for surrounding yourself with people who have proven track records in your field. Jimmy ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $4.90!
19 view cover	One of Mine (1996) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff His second album, again on Sue. This has been reissued on Collectables. This session has McGriff with Morris Dow on lead guitar and harmonica, Larry Frazier on rhythm guitar, and Willie "Saint" Jenkins on drums. It features the title cut and "The Last Minute" -- ten hi-energy cuts. Michael Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.00! new only from $11.03!
20 view cover	The Funkiest Little Band in the Land (1968) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff This is a collection of McGriff with small bands during the years from 1968 to 1974, before he went to the large orchestra format. Produced by Sonny Lester, many of these appeared on the Groove Merchant label. Includes a lot of funky stuff with titles like"Super Funk," "Fat Cakes," "Groove Fly," and "Dig On it." There are 13 cuts and plenty of ... see all copies from $10.88! new only from $39.99!
21 view cover	Blue to the 'Bone (1988) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff McGriff with Bill Easley on sax, Melvin Sparks on guitar, Bernard Purdie on drums, and Al Grey on trombone. The trombone is not that often found in the small-organ combo format and may not appeal to everyone. Smooth, yet funky. Michael Erlewine & Ron Wynn., All Music Guide see all copies from $13.78! new only from $13.78!
22 view cover	At the Apollo (1963) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff There's no question; organist Jimmy McGriff and company cook up some steaming blues grooves on this live date. Beyond that, though, there is little that distinguishes this set from countless others in the same mold. McGriff and his band are a dynamo when they unite in churning, bluesy bluster. As individual players, however, no one here generates ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
23 view cover	McGriff Avenue (2002) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff Still relaxed and wailing on his modified Hammond XB-3 organ, Jimmy McGriff continued to manufacture solid soul-jazz tracks in the 21st century -- although these sessions caused him a bit more trouble than most due to circumstances beyond his control. Originally booked for noon on September 11, 2001, the sessions for this album obviously had to be ... see all copies from $13.78! new only from $13.78!
24 view cover	Blues Groove (1995) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff/Hank Crawford Quartet Organist Jimmy McGriff and altoist Hank Crawford always make for a potent team. With guitarist Wayne Boyd and drummer Vance James completing the quartet, McGriff and Crawford explore an appealing mixture of blues, soulful ballads and riff tunes. Few surprises occur but many of the songs (particularly "Movin' Upside the Blues," "The Sermon," "When ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
25 view cover	Steppin' Up (1987) more music like this by Hank Crawford and Jimmy McGriff Altoist Hank Crawford and organist Jimmy McGriff met up for a second time on this 1987 CD, and the results are predictably soulful and pleasing. With guitarist Jimmy Ponder and drummer Vance James completing the quartet and pianist Billy Preston (rarely heard in this type of setting) sitting in successfully on three of the seven numbers, this is a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
