ahh man, you know who i completely forgot about? the INCREDIBLE jimmy smith! he's mostly remembered by folks my age for root down, but all of his 60s blue notes are worthwhile. i like back at the chicken shack and, for the verve stuff, the co-led session with wes montgomery is about as classic as it gets for 60s soul jazz.
(wes montgomery's later albums also highly recommended, btw)

This is probably too out to be dad jazz but it's Dollar Brand so retains that hospitable edge *and* it contains Johnny Dyani, Don Cherry, Roy Brooks and John Betsch. Magnificent.

tbh at this point i think of a lot of this stuff as Austincore and normally would've posted this in scott's moldy figs thread.
aren't most of you dads at this point anyway?

Is this the new thread for this stuff or the Moldy Figs thread?
Anyway, I really love this Cedar Walton track lately, "The Electric Boogaloo Song." Soul jazz, but with a loose, loping groove rather than tight funk. Rest of the album is good but doesn't sound like this cut.

Great track Austin, what gorgeous Rhodes and drumming (apparently that's Billy Hart on percussion/maybe second drum kit?).
