RARE ORIGINAL LP FROM 1972 on VERVE
JIMMY SMITH LIVE! - ROOT DOWN
COVER: VG+
VINYL: VG+
Awesome Hammond Funk featuring the killer 'Root Down' as sampled by The Beastie Boys.
Not coincidentally, the title track is the song the Beasties sampled on their 1994 song of the same name, since this is one of the only sessions that Smith cut where his playing is raw, vital, and earthy. Recorded live in Los Angeles in February 1972, the album captures a performance Smith gave with a relatively young supporting band who were clearly influenced by modern funk and rock. They push Smith to playing low-down grooves that truly cook: "Sagg Shootin' His Arrow" and "Root Down (And Get It)" are among the hottest tracks he ever cut. There are times where the pace slows, but the tension never sags, and the result is one of the finest, most exciting records in Smith's catalog. If you think you know everything about Jimmy Smith, this is the album for you.
YOU CAN CHECK THE TRACKS FROM THIS LP ON YOUTUBE IF YOU DON'T KNOW THIS RECORD.
