Our Take

Aftertaste: Sunday roast without the gravy
Rating: 8.5/10

Jimmy Smith's latest offering, "Home Cookin'", is a delicious feast for the ears. This album serves up a smorgasbord of jazz, funk, and soul, seasoned with Smith's signature organ playing that has made him a household name in the industry.

From the moment you drop the needle on the vinyl or hit play on your streaming service, you are transported to a smokey jazz club in the heart of New Orleans. The opening track, "Soulful Strut", sets the tone for what is to come - a blend of toe-tapping rhythms and smooth grooves that will have you nodding your head in approval.

Tracks like "Back at the Chicken Shack" and "Greensleeves" showcase Smith's masterful touch on the organ, while "See See Rider" and "Sonnymoon for Two" demonstrate his ability to take classic jazz standards and make them his own.

But what truly sets "Home Cookin'" apart is its ability to evoke the feeling of coming home after a long day and sitting down to a hearty meal. It's like a warm hug in musical form, comforting and familiar yet innovative and fresh.

So if you're in the mood for some soulful tunes with a side of funk, be sure to add "Home Cookin'" to your musical menu. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Cheers to Jimmy Smith for serving up a musical feast that is truly incredible.
