Album: '75 by Jimmy Smith (1975)
Genre: Jazz | Mood: Happy
Format: Album

Description: An album that recalls the best days of the 60's. This very powerful trio composition, Ray Crawford on guitar plus Buck Clarke on percussion-drums, Jimmy Smith electric piano and organ depicts us very authentic pleasure of live performances. The album is not genre-specific but is a mixture of Blue Note time, funk and soul that are packaged in a brand new label 
Mojo Records

Artist Background: Jimmy Smith ignited a jazz revolution on an instrument associated at the time with ballparks, despite never playing one until the age of 28. His legendary multi-part technique on the Hammond B-3 organ, playing bass with the foot pedals and Charlie Parker-like single-line passages with his right hand, shook up the traditional trio as co-players could explore new roles. Yet, while the consensus is Smith's playing is a jazz landmark, his recordings fall short of such acclaim. Not a single album ... Part of the Pennsylvania, USA music scene. Associated with Jazz movement.
