Jimmy Smith - Root Down

I can never get enough jazz, especially if it has an organ involved. When there's a deep funk influence that is really groovy, I have to move myself. A friend linked me to "Root Down" on youtube simply saying, "funkgasm" followed by the url. So, I have to post it, it's ridiculously awesome.

Make sure to listen to part 2, or you're missing out on some slick soloing supported with an amazing rhythm section. The album was recorded live way back in 1972 and the Verve remasterings have a really organic feel to them. Overall, it's really soulful and smooth, including a cover of Al Green's "Lets Get Together."
