I don't know much about Jazz but I like... Jimmy Smith's Back at the Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith really owned the organ in Jazz throughout the 60's.   The only problem with that is that his sound became the sound and his early innovations are now just what people expect of organs and it is easy to forget how groundbreaking this must have been.  On Back at The Chicken Shack he is joined by Stanley Turentine on sax and Kenny Burrell on guitar.

I had trouble finding this until I came across it in a four story book shop in downtown Taipei!!

One of my go to chillout albums.
