The record
An organ record with a bass player, which is not how these usually work: Tommy McClure takes the bottom on electric bass, leaving McDuff's pedals free for other business. Charlie Freeman is on electric guitar, Sammy Greason on drums, Jay Arnold on tenor, and McDuff wrote the arrangements. Titles like "Butter (For Yo Popcorn)" and "Theme From Electric Surfboard" tell you where 1969 was pulling him. Blue Note BST 84322.
