The organ can often take a back seat in the pecking order of great Jazz instruments but underappreciate it at your peril. The likes of Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, Booker T and Ray Charles, to name but a few, made the instrument their own while crafting jazz cuts of dazzling brilliance.

This 1965 set by organist Bill Doggett's band is well-played and spirited but quite lightweight. The nine selections are mostly blues-oriented jams without any memorable melodies, stirring solos, or moments that lift the program above the routine. The rather brief results are pleasant and groovin' but rather predictable.

The Blue Velvet soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti is a dark combination of classic composition and vintage/modern pop songs, which mirrors the film's un-stated timeless setting envisioned by David Lynch and unsettling neo-noir atmosphere. Thus, the film has become noted for its diverse musical selections. Seen as a prominent stylistic feature in the film is the unconventional use of vintage pop songs, such as Bobby Vinton’s "Blue Velvet" and Roy Orbison’s "In Dreams", juxtaposed with an orchestral score.

With his instrumental hit "Honky Tonk" in February 1956, Bill Doggett (born William Ballard Doggett) created one of rock's greatest instrumental tracks. Although it generated scores of offers to perform in rock & roll clubs throughout the United States, Doggett remained tied to the jazz and organ-based R&B that he had performed since the 1930s. Continuing to record for the Cincinnati-based King label until 1960, he went on to record for Warner Brothers, Columbia, ABC-Paramount and Sue. His last session came as a member and producer of an all-star jazz/R&B group, Bluesiana Hurricane in 1995.
This record is an opportunity to hear not only Bill Doggett on the organ and piano, but also the excellent Bubba Brooks on tenor sax, the guitarist Pete Mayes and the rarely heard singer Toni Williams.

Doggett learned piano at the age of 8, and made his debut in Jimmy Gorham's Orchestra in 1935. In 1938, he formed his own band, which toured with future conductor Lucky Millinder, who took over in 1940 as Millinder's Band. Bill Doggett worked as a pianist-arranger for the vocal group Ink Spots (1942-1944), then worked as a freelance musician, writing arrangements for Count Basie and Lionel Hampton. Between 1944 and 1946, he recorded with Jimmy Rushing, Lucky Thompson and Don Byas, and the following year replaced Wild Bill Davis in Louis Jordan's lineup (from 1947 to 1949). From 1950, Doggett played mainly organ. After leaving Jordan's lineup, he accompanied Ella Fitzgerald (1951), and set up a rhythm'n'blues band with which he achieved considerable success. His hit "Honky Tonk" (1956) was one of the highest post-war record sales (more than two million copies). Doggett played until the 80s with these small rhythm'n'blues bands that were still so successful with the public during European jazz festivals.
