NEW LP

New sealed copy. 2021 Blue Note Classic Series reissue on 180 gram vinyl. Remastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio.

Recorded in 1960 and released in 1963, Back at the Chicken Shack captures organist Jimmy Smith at the height of his powers, blending blues, soul, and jazz in a relaxed yet deeply grooving session. Cut during the same date as Midnight Special, the album features a top-tier quartet with Stanley Turrentine on tenor saxophone, Kenny Burrell on guitar, and Donald Bailey on drums.

Smith’s Hammond B-3 takes center stage, delivering soulful lines and bluesy improvisations that helped define the soul jazz movement. From the laid-back title track to the crisp interplay throughout, the album remains one of Smith’s most beloved recordings.

Recognized in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, Back at the Chicken Shack is essential listening for fans of jazz organ and 1960s Blue Note.
