Year Released: 1982
Genre: Jazz, Soul Jazz, Jazz-Funk
Description: "Off The Top" is an album by the legendary Hammond B-3 organist Jimmy Smith, recorded later in his career but still showcasing his enduring power and influence. It features his signature blues-drenched, funky organ playing, often backed by a more contemporary rhythm section. While staying true to his soul jazz roots, it might incorporate some of the smoother jazz-funk sounds popular in the early 80s, demonstrating his ability to adapt while remaining unmistakably Jimmy Smith.
