forgets itself

a new chapter in the extraordinary story of Scientist is opening up

while carving out some heavy new business

the director and composer intended many tracks to be merely “firewood

and the need for them in times of disarray

Jimmy Smith - Root Down - Jimmy Smith Live! (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series) Artist_山本邦山 Hozan Yamamoto forgets itselfRoot Down captures the king of the Hammond B3 organ, Jimmy Smith, playing down and dirty R&B. The album includes two versions (one previously unissued) of Smith's "Root Down," a song covered by the Beastie Boys in 1994. There is also a hypnotic reading of Al Green's pleading "Let's Stay Together," which yet again proves that Jimmy Smith is a man with a lot of soul. On 180 gram vinyl.
