Black on Black! is the third album by jazz organist Sonny Phillips, which was recorded in 1970 and released on the Prestige label.[1]

Reception

Stewart Mason of Allmusic stated, "Sonny Phillips' third and final album for Prestige, coming just over a year after his first, shows the soul-jazz organist moving in a somewhat funkier direction than his first two efforts. The roiling title track actually has an edge of menace to it, an idea his other albums never even entertained".[2]
