4 out of 5 stars Jimmy's still the man.......2003-10-22

Jimmy McGriff has MS and is in pretty bad shape. So granted, he can't burn it up like he used to, but his playing on McGriff Avenue is still very soulful and from the heart. Sax Gordon, known mainly as an R&B player, turns in some great solos, and the horn section is held together by the mighty Ronnie Cuber on baritone sax [formerly with George Benson's organ combo]. This one is worth checking out.

2 out of 5 stars I love McGriff but..........2003-01-09

If you like Jimmy McGriff, you will not like this CD! This item it's just for Hammond organ fans. The sound is great, but the players looks tired here! Jimmy sounds very old and his right hand is so slow and imprecise... anyway, maybe someone will like it if he's not a Jimmy McGriff fan... :-)
