Jimmy Smith In A Plain Brown Wrapper
LP (Item 36344) Verve, 1971 — Condition: Used
A pretty great funk album from Jimmy – and very different than his other jazz work at the time! The record was produced and arranged by soulster Larry Williams, and most tracks have these raspy vocals that we're not sure are Larry's or Jimmy's. But whatever the case, the sound is great – and the tracks work well as messed-up funk numbers with a slight jazzy edge. We might compare the album to some of Larry's work for Okeh during the late 60s, or to later Johnny Hammond albums that feature vocals. Titles include "Number One", "Love Is Mission Impossible", "Zodiac Song", "Recession Or Depression", and "Jimmy Smith Is The Midnight Cowboy". (Side 2 has a mark that clicks a bit on track three. Cover has a cut corner.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
