Straight Up is an album by the organist Jimmy McGriff, recorded in 1998 and released on the Milestone label.
[1][2][3][4] AllMusic's Richard S. Ginell said: "McGriff proves once again that it's never too late to come up with a good record in this vein.
And 'good' is understating it; this is a truly great soul-jazz session, possibly the best of McGriff's end-of-the-century renaissance up to this date".
But the variety on display here is nice and the ageless organ master proves he can still grind with a style that's worth hearing"; the site's Ed Kopp observed that "McGriff is one of the most soulful B3 organ players alive, a verity he proves yet again on this fine release".
[7][8] In JazzTimes, Patricia Myers wrote that "this issue is a must for fans of both jazz organ and tenor sax".
