Behind the 8 Ball

Behind the 8 Ball is an album by organist Baby Face Willette recorded in 1964 and released on the Argo label.

[1] Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "Again, it's not quite as good as his Blue Notes (with their stellar supporting casts), but for a look at Willette's roots, Behind the 8-Ball is a solid acquisition, and worth tracking down for devotees".

[2] Douglas Payne reviewed the rerelease for All About Jazz stating "Behind the 8 Ball smokes some of the hottest, grooviest organ jazz imaginable - and catches Willette at his very best.

This stuff hits heavier than any of the well-rehearsed music Willette recorded for Blue Note".
