Apple Music
Leaping into organ-jazz giant Jimmy Smith's catalogue with both feet reveals that he had a lot more tricks up his sleeve than many people realize. Late-career cuts like the ‘80s gem “Fungii Mama” see Smith stirring up a sunny, polyrhythmic Caribbean vibe, and his take on Michael Jackson's tear-stained ballad “She's Out of My Life” is both poignant and atmospheric.
