Fans of the Hammond B-3 organ know and love the music of Jimmy Smith, but lesser-known is the tragically short life and career of Roosevelt "Baby Face" Willette who produced some of the deepest grooves ever recorded on the B-3 on two Blue Note albums in 1961. His debut, Face to Face, is a showcase for his blues-drenched organ pyrotechnics. Featuring Grant Green, Fred Jackson, and Ben Dixon. Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
