Root Down captures the king of the Hammond B3 organ, Jimmy Smith, playing down-and-dirty soul-jazz and R&B. It includes two versions of the title track, later famously sampled by the Beastie Boys, alongside a hypnotic reading of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" that shows just how much soul Smith carried. He achieved the rare feat of charting instrumental jazz albums on Billboard, forging an indelible link between sixties soul and jazz improvisation. Foundational organ jazz from one of its true giants.
