Jazz Library

Alyn Shipton picks the finest discs by jazz organist Jimmy McGriff, who died in May 2008 after a long battle with multiple sclerosis. He was not only one of the fathers of both soul jazz and acid jazz, but was widely regarded as one of the greatest of all jazz organists. As well as Alyn's archive interviews with McGriff himself, there are several of his finest tracks including All about My Girl, I've Got a Woman and The Worm.
