Tony, you know I stole that arrangement (well, concept) from Charlie. I knew Charlie very well; I used to play in his Aunt's club back in the day and he would frequently stop by. He was a super nice guy and although not the greatest jazz organist, he WAS a great 'funkmaster' and could really get a crowd going. His emphasis was always on the 'grove'. Charlie would play one tune for 15 minutes but the groove was so tight it was almost hypnotic. He was a lightweight at that time though 'cause all the local clubs in Philly and So. Jersey were featuring guys like Groove Holmes (before he moved to the west coast), Wild Bill Davis (already a 'dinosaur', style-wise), 'Brother' Jack McDuff, Don Patterson, Johnny 'Hammond' Smith, occasionally Jimmy McGriff, and about once a summer (in Atlantic City), the great Jimmy Smith. When Jimmy Smith (the acknowledged 'king') was in town, every organ player (they were never referred to as 'organists') within 50 miles would be there to see him. Boy, those were great days, but for me just a summer thing (I was either teaching or in grad school at the time) as I was off active duty but still in the Reserves. Can't believe how long ago that was. Oh well. Some people had better 'wild oats' than others.
