McDuff, Jack
▪ 2002
Eugene McDuffy 
      American jazz organist (b. Sept. 17, 1926, Champaign, Ill.—d. Jan. 23, 2001, Minneapolis, Minn.), helped popularize soul jazz, a languid, blues-inspired jazz form that achieved prominence in the 1950s and '60s. McDuff was a master of the Hammond electric organ. In 1959 he formed his own band, which eventually became known as the Heatin' System; the group included jazz singer and guitarist George Benson, who regarded McDuff as his musical mentor. The band's 1965 album Hot Barbeque was considered a classic of the soul jazz genre. McDuff toured with the Heatin' System until 2000 and appeared on more than 60 albums during his career.
