For 1967's THE BLUES IS NOW, vocalist Jimmy Witherspoon paired up with organist extraordinaire Jack McDuff. Recorded in only one day, the album is a fascinating blues/jazz hybrid that showcases Witherspoon's bold, soulful vocals and McDuff's simmering organ lines. McDuff also serves as the arranger and conductor here, leading the band through a funky take on "I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town" (a tune Jimmy Smith would also expertly cover a year later), two Witherspoon originals (the sultry "Late One Evening" and "Part Time Woman," a slow-paced tale of betrayal), and more. Although THE BLUES IS NOW is billed as a Witherspoon/McDuff record, guitarist Melvin Sparks is also a formidable presence on the album, with his searing blues riffs stealing the spotlight on numerous tracks.

Photographer: Raymond Ross.

Arranger: Jack McDuff.

Personnel: Jimmy Witherspoon (vocals, guitar); Jimmy Witherspoon, Jack McDuff; Jymie Merritt (electric bass, bass guitar); Melvin Sparks (guitar); Danny Turner (flute, saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone); Leo Johnson (flute, saxophone, tenor saxophone); Ray Appleton (drums).

Recording information: New York, NY (06/01/1967).
