"The organ that Jack McDuff played on  the Screamin album  has a
distinctive bitting sound  which sounds different from the  mellower
organ sound on  Jimmy Smith tracks such as " Blues for J " ," St James
infirmary" and  " Organ  grinder's swing " etc that were recorded at
Rudy Van Gelder's Englewood Cliffs  studio. "

Prolly had the TG re-calibrated Kon...

(Phil ducks and runs like hell....)
