Brother Jack McDuff Live! is a live album by jazz organist Jack McDuff, recorded in New Jersey in 1963 and released on the Prestige label.[1][2] The album is one of the first albums to feature guitarist George Benson; Benson had recorded the novelty blues single "It Should Have Been Me #2" as an 11-year-old in 1954, but he did not record commercially again until he joined McDuff's band in 1963.
