Johnny 'Hammond' Smith • Legends Of Acid Jazz-Soul Flowers

 

Song titles such as "Days of Wine and Roses," "Ode to Billie Joe," "Alfie," "Hi Heel Sneakers," and "To Sir with Love" evoke the 1960s, as does Johnny "Hammond" Smith’s funky, fat-toned attack on the Hammond B-3 organ. The Louisville-born, Cleveland-bred keyboardist (1933-1997) also was ahead of his time, having helped to introduce soul grooves to the jazz mainstream. The music on these 1967 and ’68 sessions, both featuring the surging tenor saxophones of Houston Person and Earl Edwards, prefigures that of Smith’s significant crossover successes of the Seventies–and paved the way for the acid jazz of the Nineties.

Títulos de canciones como "Days of Wine and Roses", "Ode to Billie Joe", "Alfie", "Hi Heel Sneakers" y "To Sir with Love" evocan los años 60, al igual que el ataque funky y de tono gordo de Johnny "Hammond" Smith con el órgano Hammond B-3. El teclista nacido en Louisville y criado en Cleveland (1933-1997) también se adelantó a su tiempo, ya que ayudó a introducir los ritmos del soul en la corriente principal del jazz. La música de estas sesiones de 1967 y 68, en las que aparecen los potentes saxos tenores de Houston Person y Earl Edwards, prefigura los importantes éxitos de Smith en los años setenta, y allana el camino para el acid jazz de los noventa.
