Макдафф, Джек

Ю́джин Макда́ффи(англ. Eugene McDuffy; 17 сентября 1926, Шампейн, Иллинойс — 23 января 2001, Миннеаполис, Миннесота), в профессиональной среде известен как «Брат» Джек Макда́фф (англ. Brother Jack McDuff) и «Капитан» Джек Макда́фф (англ. Captain Jack McDuff) — американский джазовый органист.

Биография

Родился 17 сентября 1926 года в Шампейне, штат Иллинойс. Начинал как басист и играл с Дэнни Цейтлином и Джо Фарреллом. Брал частные уроки в Цинциннати. Самостоятельно научился играть на органе и фортепиано в середине 1950-х годов.

Возглавлял собственную группу в начале 1950-х; потом играл с Портером Килбертом, Эдди Чембли в Чикаго (1957), Уиллисом Джексоном (1957-58). Также играл с Джонни Гриффином, Максом Роучем в Чикаго в 1950-х. Владелец музыкального клуба предложил ему переключиться на орган. С 1959 года возглавил собственную группу с саксофонистом Гарольдом Виком и ударником Джо Дюксом. Гастролировал в США и Европе и записывался с такими музыкантами как Джо Гендерсон, Джордж Бенсон, Пэт Мартино.

В 1960 году дебютировал на лейбле Prestige в качестве солиста, записав альбом Brother Jack; работал на этом лейбле до 1966 года, где давал возможность каждому сайдмену записываться сольно (например, на дебютном альбоме Джорджа Бенсона The New Boss Guitar of George Benson, ему аккомпанировал группа Макдаффа). Аккомпанировал Шейки Джейку (1961), Кингу Кертису, Гранту Грину (1961), Джимми Уизерспуну (1967). Записывался на лейблах Atlantic (1966-67), Cadet (1968-75) и Blue Note (1969-70).

В 1970-х и 1980-х экспериментировал с электронными клавишными, однако без большого успеха. В 1990-х вернулся к органу B3 и подписал контракт с лейблом Concord Jazz. Выступал в Японии и Бермудских островах.

Умер 23 января 2001 года в Миннеаполисе, штат Миннесота от сердечной недостаточности в возрасте 74 лет.
