Brother Jack Meets the Boss

Brother Jack Meets the Boss is an album by the organist Jack McDuff and the saxophonist Gene Ammons recorded in 1962 and released on the Prestige label.

The album was recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, on January 23, 1962. Although billed as a meeting of organist Jack McDuff and tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons, a second tenorist, Harold Vick, played on all of the tracks, as did guitarist Eddie Diehl and drummer Joe Dukes.

Three of the six tracks were written by McDuff; the first, "Watch Out", is an uptempo blues.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "this is a very successful soul-jazz/hard bop outing... Ammons, whose every note was always full of passion, fits in perfectly with McDuff's group". Marc Myers described the recording as "a superb bluesy album".

All compositions by Jack McDuff except where noted.
