Face to Face (Baby Face Willette album)
Face to Face is the debut album by jazz organist Baby Face Willette featuring performances recorded and released on the Blue Note label in 1961.

Reception

The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer stated: "If it is warm and appealing visceral music, it is also wholly predictable. There's not a single surprise on either side". The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars and stated "Face to Face boasts a mighty meat and potatoes soul-jazz lineup... Highly recommended".
