Our Take

The latest release from iconic organist Jimmy Smith, "Essential Early Recordings," is a rollicking journey through the early years of his career. With tracks ranging from smooth and sultry to wild and funky, Smith showcases his immense talent and innovation on this compilation.

The album kicks off with the classic track "The Champ," a lively and energetic number that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Smith's masterful organ playing is on full display here, with intricate melodies and toe-tapping rhythms that are sure to get listeners grooving along.

As the album progresses, we are treated to a variety of styles and sounds, from the soulful "Midnight Special" to the swinging "Walk On The Wild Side." Smith's versatility as a musician is evident throughout, as he effortlessly navigates different genres and moods with ease.

One standout track is the mesmerizing "Back At The Chicken Shack," a laid-back and funky tune that showcases Smith's ability to create a relaxing atmosphere while still keeping listeners engaged. The bluesy guitar riffs and soulful vocals add an extra layer of depth to this already rich track.

Overall, "Essential Early Recordings" is a must-listen for fans of jazz and soul music. Jimmy Smith's talent and charisma shine through on every track, making this album a true gem in his discography. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let the sounds of Jimmy Smith transport you to a bygone era of musical magic.
