Johnny 'Hammond' Smith - Shifting Gears



With TONIGHT being the night were I kick off my new happy hour event SAY IT LOUD! at Disco Volante (347 14th Street Oakland, CA), I thought I would get the weekend started with "Shifting Gears" off of Johnny Hammond's classic 1975 album Gears. This Mizell Brothers (aka Larry & Fonce Mizell) produced album easily represents one the greatest soul-jazz records ever released. The record is solid from start to finish, featuring a number of soul-jazz gems including Fantasy, Los Conquistadores Chocolatés and Tell Me What To Do. Just another example of the music that will be featured later this evening.
