Reviewer:

Organist JIMMY SMITH brings the funky grooves, showing why he's become an icon for acidjazz, breakbeat, and neo-funk artists of today.
Modern disciples like Money Mark, Soulive, Galactic, and Medeski Martin And Wood have deservedly raised the profile of this underrated groove merchant. With so may cuts by Jimmy Smith, Grant Green, and Jack McDuff sampled in current hipster...
Organist JIMMY SMITH brings the funky grooves, showing why he's become an icon for acidjazz, breakbeat, and neo-funk artists of today.
Modern disciples like Money Mark, Soulive, Galactic, and Medeski Martin And Wood have deservedly raised the profile of this underrated groove merchant. With so may cuts by Jimmy Smith, Grant Green, and Jack McDuff sampled in current hipster musics, this great disc comes at the perfect time for new fans to get it on the good foot.
Playing side-by-side with uncanny empathy his trio makes the stone cool start to boil. Jimmy is the full-on leader supplemented thoughtfully and tastefully by guitarist Eddie McFadden. (Fans of Walter Becker should take note.) Drummer Charlie Crsoby stealthily pulls it all together. One of the many thrills of this film is getting to see close-ups of Jimmy's patented hand and leg techniques in action, innovations he pioneered that have become the arsenal of every organist since. Whether revamping pop standards, bebop stallions, or busting out a gritty vocal on "Got My Mojo Working", Jimmy is on top here and you get to sit right beside him at the controls.
Kudos also to the terrifically insightful liner notes by Ashley Kahn, with a career overview, anecdotes, and lay descriptions of his amazing chops.
