On this day in music history: February 8, 1972 - “Root Down”, the seventy first album by Jimmy Smith is recorded. Produced by Jimmy Smith and Eric Miller, it is recorded at The Bombay Bicycle Club in Los Angeles, CA. Following his prolific string of inspired and musically diverse recordings for Verve Records during the 60’s, jazz organist Jimmy Smith continues to delve even deeper in to his bluesy musical roots into the 70’s. Working with a group of younger, but experienced musicians, Smith also puts his own unique spin on contemporary R&B and funk while collaborating with them. The live set they perform at small L.A club features the Hammond B-3 master with Crusaders member Wilton Felder (bass), Paul Humphrey (drums), Buck Clarke (congas and percussion), Arthur Adams (guitar), and Steve Williams (harmonica). Released in mid 1972, Smith and the bands incendiary energy is captured on this seminal album, going on to be widely sampled (most notably by The Beastie Boys) and becoming one of the earliest examples of jazz/funk or “acid jazz”. In 2000, an expanded edition of the album is released by Verve Records with the full, unedited versions (originally cut to fit the time constraints of vinyl) of three of the albums’ six tracks plus an alternate recording of the title track.
