Experience the undiscovered gem of the 1970s from acclaimed Hammond artist Jimmy Smith. This album offers a unique sound, distinct from his previous work with Verve in the 1960s. With lengthy tracks that unfold, expand, and captivate in a sophisticated manner, this album brings a whole new level of complexity to Jimmy's repertoire. Reminiscent of Jack McDuff's intricate Blue Note albums, including "Moon Rapping", Jimmy collaborates with Thad Jones to create multi-faceted pieces with time changes, rhythmic shifts, and mood variations that add a rich, brooding tone. Tracks such as "Blap", "And I Love You So", and the extended "Portuguese Soul" suite, truly showcase Jimmy's talent.
