Hammond B-3 organ soul jazz fans know and love the music of Jimmy Smith, but lesser known is the tragically short life and career ofRoosevelt Baby Face Willettewho produced some of the deepest grooves ever recorded on the B-3 on just two Blue Note albums recorded in 1961. Willettes debutFace to Faceis a showcase for his blues-drenched organ pyrotechnics. Joined by the brilliant guitaristGrant Green, tenor sax masterFred Jacksonand the rock-solid drums ofBen Dixon,Face to Faceis a tour de force of rough and ready soul jazz brilliance with an iconic Reid Miles cover design to match!
