Back At The Chicken Shack

great grooves, great playing. some cool stuff here. ultimately, maybe not the most interesting record i've ever heard, but still quite cool and a unique combination of its era of jazz and r&b.

I love Jazz… just found it a bit slow and felt it needed more vocals

1963. Good year to be born. Decidedly, I prefer a great vocalist, curious lyrics, and bongos in that order. Saxophones are sometimes interesting but too much can be grating.

Did not know what to expect and was pleasently surprised

Soothing and somehow familiar although Ive not consciously listened to this album. Grows with repeat listening.

Not as much to say on this one. Some great jazz pieces and a good bit of blues thrown in. I don't know jazz history very well, but I would imagine this album has a place in it. Instrumentation is bright and cheery, but also laid back and playful. Doesn't seem as groundbreaking as some other jazz records to me at least, but I'm sure we'll get there. Bonus points for having songs named Back at the Chicken Shack and Messy Bessie.

Fun

Some of the best jazz yet

Loves

Funky. What a vibe.

Smooth with some real nice B3

I love that fat Hammond organ sound.

Pretty good, but not really anything that stood out to me. Liked the dog, though.

Nice smooth listen. I’ll probably dip into his catalog more in the not so distant future.

3.5⭐. Not bad. Good for background noise while throwing darts in the sunroom late at night

Heard this album last time I went to a steakhouse.

Jazz classics

Chill

Loved this one so much!! Bought it on ITunes!!

This is definitely some jazz. I recognize the importance of this album, and it's really easy to listen to. It makes me think of sitting in a dark club, smoke swirling, a drink on the table, chatting with someone at my table. It's also not music I'd reach for on the regular, so I guess it's good it was my first album to listen to in this project.

This album sounds like a group just hanging out, jamming and having a great time. Great sounding sax as well. It is a very chill listen. I think 4/5 for sure, I will be back if I'm in the mood.

I wanted to like this album more then I did unfortunately because I love the cover and the title. The songs kind of blended all together in a blandish way. Best Song: On the Sunny Side Of The Street Worst Song: N/A PS: Funky Broadway by Jimmy Smith slaps fr

I'm snagging ⭐️ from Jeff Beck and handing it over to Jimmy. If this album were a summer hangout, I'd pitch my tent at this chicken shack and camp out all season.

El tema "Back at the Chicken Shack" que abre el disco me parece una de las cumbres en esta mezcla de funky, soul y jazz. Todo el disco es también un obra imprescindible para disfrutar del órgano como instrumento en la música popular.

These cats at cookin

That first track...cool man, yeah baby...that's cool. dig it? Standouts: Back at the Chicken Shack, When I Grow too Old to Dream, On the Sunny Side of the Street (Bonus). 4/5

Pretty chill blues. I can see how this could have been a big deal back in 1963. Also jazzy, but still mellow all the way through.

Easy listening.

Everything i always want to hear

Mind bending

This was a good jazz album Top tracks: When I Grow Too Old To Dream

Not my usual type of music. Pleasant enough and wouldn’t object to this being on in the background of a bar for drinks.

bluesy

A wonderful discovery that led me down several interesting avenues, including an introduction to acid jazz.

The Hammond Organ in Jazz can be difficult to execute. Jimmy Smith comes along with not only expert chops at the Hammond, but brings along his band that shine on sax, guitar, and drums. 5/5

Very smooth

Fantastic! Never heard of Jimmy Smith and loved it.

Beautiful album. Stylish.

Loved it!

It was funky

Funky.

Not the best of Smith's album. A bit too tame for me

Smooth as hell combo of standards, blues bop, and straight soul. Hella low key dinner hang music, adjacent to Montgomery, Christian or Bird.

i really needed this instrumental album today. So calming, so easy to have in the background while I journal. I just love it honestly.

own

Relaxing jazz/soul vibes; very mellow album.

I enjoyed this more than I expected. Solid background music, good jams and pacing. Each song have similar traits but have good variations. I wish I had a smoking jacket and cocktail while listening.

Fun listen. Not a genre I would seek out but I liked this. First song, Back at the Chicken Shack, reminded me of the Sandlot scene where they are at the fair so kind of brought in a childhood memory to me and made me feel good.

A very nice listen. Clocking in at just under 44min with only 5 tracks, and yet the songs and entire album pace well. Even though saxophone seems to be more prevalent throughout, all players feature nicely adding to the listening experience. Just four dudes in the same room pushing play on the record button. Dig it.

First of all, anyone remember the one hit wonder Jimmie’s Chicken Shack? This has to be where they got their name. Anyways, loved this album. Listened to it twice back to back. I don’t know enough about jazz to say it’s a great jazz album, but I’ll certainly revisit along with the rest of his catalog.

I enjoy a lil jazz in the background. Could see myself listening to this again and exploring his other stuff.

This album is a vibe. I guess all jazz is a vibe, but this is a vibe I actually enjoy. I could see myself putting this as background music during a sexy/sex party. That may be simultaneously a diss and the highest compliment I can give a jazz album. Jazz always makes me think of that scene in So I Married an Axe Murderer. Woman. WHOOAAA-man. 3.5/5

Just didn't appeal to me as much as other jazz albums I've heard through top album list. When I Grow Too Old to Dream and Messy Bessie were the two I liked the most.

Funky jazz, good background music.

Enjoyed this album so much. It made me miss my Dad tremendously. He was a huge Jazz fan. I wish he were here so I could discuss the album with him.

I don’t know what I was expecting, but it definitely wasn’t that. I haven’t honed an appreciation for jazz music yet, but this was an enjoyable listen! If I’m being honest, all of the songs sound the same to me… But it’s great music to play while I work.

Classic

Very smooth, relaxing, jazz sounds. Great album and I'd never heard of Jimmy Smith. Really enjoyed this album 4/5.

3 Meh, it's cool I'm just not that into this kind of music.

Reminds me of some stuff that inspired the Meters. A good album to clean up to

I liked but, to be honest, I prefer songs with some lyrics.

Not for me

funkyyyyyyyy and jazzyyyyy my bf would listen to this

Da isch glaub s erste mal dasi öppis vo dere Website so garnid gfühlt han. Es het sich eifach bland ahgfühlt und mega boring. Ich han wie nid meh dezue zum sege.

kenny burell schomol guets zeiche. ok s isch afoch orgle blues. giti und sax solo sehr nice. letste chorus mit sax seeeehr geil. When I grow old to dream isch en standard i guess? saxophon guy git duuuure. lieb dass sie kein bass bruched well de jimmy het FÜESS das ganze isch sehr cool jazz nur bitzli heroin ab und zue en joint chillemer chli de drummer swingt hert aber s tätscht nur bitzli gömmers ruhig ah und wipped chli mit de füess mit. gfallt mer. minir chant. uf dem undem letste isch de kenny burell nöd debi und i het schono gern chli gitarre. aber s swingt scho wie sau. hui letste track lang messy bessie. aber kenny back. finds immerno groovy und de sax guy fitzt aaane aber isch scho bitz noodly. ouyeah kennytime. richtig geils solo kennerdawg. drum comping isch au geil.

hey ganz ehrlich ich bin nöd mega en jazzguy im sinn vo ich finds eig selte schlecht aber chan nur selte öppis demit ahfange, aber iwie hetmer das mega gfalle hahahaha ich schwanke sochli zwüscheme 3 undeme 4i, will ehrlich gseit wird ichs halt trz nöd wieder hüfig lose ABER de name vom album isch funny und orgle funny und er gseht sehr cool uus

Favorite is track 1, "Back at the Chicken Shack".

Great

Loved it! Totally new to me.

ew

Great organ work.

Not bad, but not my cup of tea.

Not into this one. Feels like something I would have skipped over on Sesame Street if I had the chance back then.

Nothing groundbreaking, but some good Jazz standards. You can't go wrong with anything that comes out of Blue Note.

So wonderful - love jazz from this era. Funny enough reminds me of Hey Arnold. 9/10.

Rock organs have such a cool sound. Back At The Chicken Shack starts as it means to go on, very cool. Good Sunday morning coffee music.

Um bom álbum instrumental

Jazz. Gute Aufnahme, nicht mein Stil.

Jazz

Nice smooth Alfa jazz. Good for reading.

Chad jazz

Jazz not really my bag, but an enjoyable listen.

Great album, I have listened to this several times since it was the album of the day.

Background music for day to day living right here

Short good rhythm and tunes, perfect for a coffee shop easy listening. 3.8

Nice smooth jazz for background listening. Listened to on the road and was pretty nice for driving but a little sleepy at times.

Not a big Saxophone lover.

Jazz ist für mich (meistens) Fahrstuhlmusik. Guter Hintergrund. Am besten gefiel mir "Back At The Chicken Shack" und das dazugehörige SongRadio.

The keyboards that open the first track "Back at the Chicken Shack" could be by any prog-rock or blues band from the late 1960s or early 1970s, but it soon evolves into a jazzy r&b style. Other tracks are more jazz than r&b. I liked it.

Not what I’m looking for

Nice chill jazz album! Very laid back, the guy can really let the hammond swing. But I also got to tip my hat to the sax man Stanley Turrentine, great playing! More of this please!!! 9 out of 10

Kind of boring improv jazz.

Meh... not a huge fan of this genre.

I mean, it's jazz. I don't know how to rate this, because it just sounds like jazz. Is it good? I don't know! is it bad? No clue! If you've heard jazz before, you've heard this album. I'm sure that's incredibly reductive analysis, and if someone who actually *knows* jazz reads this they're fuming at what an uncultured moron I am. In terms of rating, it's fine. 2 seems harsh, 3 seems inflated (considering some of the other albums I've rated a 3). I'd give it a 2.5 if I could.

Very chill and mellow jazz. Easy on the ears and mind. Great listen.

Pretty straight cut. Really nice, easy listening. Not completely my thing but I appreciate it for what it is.

Jazz ist nicht meins

Vad kul att få lyssna på Jimmy Smith! Spelar så jävla bra bas 😅

I've had this one in my list for 13 months now, and whilst I'd listened to it a couple of times I never felt like I had anything to say about it, so never rated it. However, upon what must be my 3rd or 4th listen I totally get this now. I don't have much of substance to say about it, but what an enjoyable experience listening to this album was. The fella in my local chicken shops name is Sasni, but if it were Jimmy Smith I'd be there all day everyday.

Slow bluesy jazz. I don't mind it, but it isn't doing all that much for me.

Solid relaxing music. Good for just lying down and resting

Great instrumental music but not my style to listen to!

Nice

Imagine a dimly lit bar. Crowded tables, intimate atmosphere. Spotlight on stage where a stylish jazz ensemble plays their hearts out. Incredible saxophone, moving organ, straight drums. This is a strong jazz album with some iconic and inspirational licks. "On the Sunny Side of the Street" is an jazz classic and their rendition should be recognized with more acclaim. Also, tis the season and Jimmy Smith's holiday album is quite good as well.

just some classic, great jazz. simple as that

Really enjoyed this in a background type of music way but unlikely to put it on again

Ok

I don't know enough about jazz to say if this is good jazz, but I can say that I really enjoyed bopping around to it while I cooked pasta, enough that I made myself a little cooking music playlist with this on it.

First track was excellent, but overall found the album to be nice, but not exceptional

Cool jazz with some hints of funk and soul. Need to listen a little bit more.

loved this!

Lovely sound from this jazz album

He's pretty good I just don't know if I'm ready to commit to Incredible.

#66. Listening to this album it makes me wish I was sitting in the garage with the door open, a cigarette in one hand, and a beer or three in the other during a heavy rainstorm. I couldn't tell you why, but that's what's what. 3/5: acceptable Song added to playlist: Back At The Chicken Shack I've created a playlist on Spotify that consists of the best and/or my favorite song from each of the albums in this book. This list can be found here if you are interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7MAXDGLWlwLkFLb8veGfkA?si=FqkQQPgZTFWG0jAUJXLFZA&utm_source=copy-link

A little too low key

3/5. I really liked this album where the more 70s electronic keyboard meets classic jazz. It would’ve been a 4 star rating had the album just been a bit lengthier.

Looooved it, going to remember it for when I want to listen to some nice retro Jazz! <3

Immaculate vibes, incredible performances, organ chops on another level. Not sure this quite has the “will actively seek this out in the future” factor that other 5 star picks of mine have had, but if I’m setting the background for a cozy day in, this whole record is absolutely on the playlist.

Might be a 4, but I’m going with a 5. Very basic, but it makes the album more accessible and easy to listen to. A lot of jazz gets stressful, but this has soul elements that make this very soothing. Almost like hold music but in good way

Strong 4

December 8, 2023 Great, smooth

A lot of fun. Perfect to help me stay energized and focused throughout my day.

me and the boys at the chicken shack 💃🏻🪩🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🐔🐔🐔

This was nice enough to listen to but it didn't really grab me in any way.

Nice and chill Hammond organ dominant jazz

Easy listening. Enjoyable album. Would listen again.

For someone who can count the jazz albums ive heard on one hand, I have to say that this was a great listen. Very easy listen

The pretty cool Jimmy Smith.

Very smooth instrumental jazz. Relaxing. Favorite Track: Back at the Chicken Shack

really good jazz album

What a groove! Have to admit I didn’t know who Jimmy Smith was even though I’ve heard Chicken Shack 1000 times. I think Messy Bessie was my favorite cut.

Very organ-forward, good horns. Straight forward jazz. Good organ soloing on 'Minor Chant'. Nice guitar/organ combo on 'Messie Bessie'.

Cool tunes but kind of background music for me.

love jazz, these are some pretty good tunes, tho i would moreso consider this an ep than an album haha jimmy smith served

If I’m at a coffee shop or restaurant and they’ve got this music going on, I know the food is going to be good. Listens: 2 Fave Track: Minor Chant Rating: 3

Nice, easy listen. Can't say I was really into it, but Jimmy Smith is the king of the Organ.

It's alright. Some organ tones just sound a bit cheesy and goofy. It's not a bad listen but feels like Booker T. And the MGs doing jazz, which would be okay at best.

ITS JAZZ

Unfortunately the organ use in jazz really does not do much for me, so much of this album lost its appeal for large chunks. I did enjoy the saxophone bits quite a bit though. 5/10

Never been a jazz fan before, but I liked the album. It's 5 songs and despite the fact that the whole album is 44 minutes, I didn't get tired of listening it. Would I listen to it again, tho, that's another question.

Groovy gentle jazz. Leads from organ, sax, and guitar

Ikke vokal

This is just classic jamin jazz. Every bit of it fits perfectly together and just works. Great for listening or just background music. Scale: 5 - My absolute favorites. 4 - Albums I like. 3 - It was ok to listen to but I wouldn't seek it out. 2 - Didn't like. 1 - Absolute shit.

Not lyrics, only instrumentals, very jazzy, and relaxing

Love me some Jimmy Smith!!

Jazz piano. A fun listen, upbeat.

Smooth, bluesy and easy listening jazz. Similar easy accessibility as Booker T, but more smooth jazz than r&b.

Jazzy instrumental with sax, maybe good background music sometimes?

Fantastic jazz

I'll be playing this one often!

Clearly an accomplished, easy on the ear, and concise album. I have no real frame of reference for where this sits in the history of jazz. I have listened sporadically to jazz throughout my life and this felt quite middle of the road, tame, not especially interesting. I am likely entirely wrong about that, but that is why my rating will be low. Sorry Jimmy, it's not you, it's me.

Not my style

Good solid jazz set.

Very cool

Out of the box it's nice and soothing, though I don't think this album should be listened in one sitting, I feel I'm on a 30min elevator ride

This is the first album I’ve gotten that I didn’t have a strong opinion on, so it’s getting a 3/5 for neutrality. I’m not well acquainted with jazz, so I struggle to see the greatness of this record, but I think that is part of my limited scope on it. A lot of it sounds cliche, but that may be a result of being from 1963. It’s also all instrumental, and I have a better handle on sensing what good songwriting is than good instrumental writing. I will say that it sounds like good dinner party music. But should that be my criteria for what makes an album worthy of being on this list? I wish their were more information available about its impact or legacy, but sadly, I couldn’t find any. If I knew, I may be able to form some actual opinions.

I must be getting old, because I love this shit.

great DATA fixing tunes, hahah

Shades of Booker T and the MGs. Fun, but not essential listening. Well done but not ground breaking.

The cover art gave me Peter Tosh Legalize It vibes at first and I got worried. This turned out to be pretty good jazz all around.

I didn’t know I love organ jazz but I do.

Very nice jazz. Easy listen. Very lounge friendly. Random, but it actually reminds me a lot of a computer game I used to play a lot as a kid, Beetle Crazy Cup, which had a soundtrack just like this.

Jazz da mais alta qualidade

Funky 60s pop hazz

Pretty smooth and calm.

classic soul jazz/jazz. 3.8

Favourite track... Minor Chant Can't say the organ stood out to me more than any other instruments, sax player was killing it and all the band are talented. Looking forward to listening to this on a cold winter night with a glass of wine whilst I cook something fancy and shimmy round the kitchen.

Super chill jazz!

I started back at the chicken shack and was amused all the way to the sunny side of the street. Then went back to the chicken shack and found myself smiling, while I hate chickens. Amazing, jazzy, bluesy music. I can listen to this all day long!

Nice and bluesy!

Lovely album!

Smooth as fuck

Nice surprise. Had never heard of this

Finally an instrumental jazz album! and with a steller Organ player at that, very unique.

Really cool had never heard of him before

This would be lovely to listen to in a playlist of jazz instrumentals. Would it stand out? I don't think so. But it is a nice calming listen

The title track was fun and interesting to listen to, something I’d heard before but never the whole album. Jazz just isn’t really ever what I want to listen to.

I'm not a big jazz guy but if I was, this would be my jam. Old school but still sounds fresh. 4 stars.

Not terrible. Not my thing and a lot of the same

Jazz??? Lekker man, beetje jazzy bluesy album. Ik kom er steeds lekkerder in heb ik het idee. En daarmee bedoel ik dat het niet meer het 1000e britpop/rock album is. Heel fijn! Ik las een andere review die benoemde dat dit meer als een saxofoon plaat voelde dan dat het orgel centraal staat. Ben ik het eigenklijk niet echt mee eens, ik vind dit veel meer een orgelplaat, met een glansende feature van een saxofonist. Ik weet niet, ik vind Jazz gewoon al snel heel fijn, nu ook weer. Ik vind dit geen 5 sterren album, dat zeker niet, maar ik denk toch wel sterk aan 4 sterren.

It's not often you hear that much organ music in blues. Kinda interesting. I mighta listen to it again. Don't know when.

No clue how it could be any better. It's got smooth groove, easy to listen to and enjoy. Definitely a very approachable jazz... that makes you just feel cooler by listening to it. Could definitely have this on repeat.

3/5 nice grooves

what the fuck is this garbage

Jazzy, funky, glorious.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Grandfather of jazz organ. Very cool!

Very chill, I enjoyed it as background music

Really enjoyable grooves from the 60's

wayyy too long. do not have the attention span for a 12 minute song w no vocals

Had never heard this album but great jazz. Loved his organ playing and just a smooth listen.

This was fine for ambient background music, but it wasn't something I'd choose to actively listen to again.

Back At The Chicken Shack On The Sunny Side Of The Street

Fine sound

Chulada chill.

Love love

Solid jazz record. Nothing more nothing less

Guter Jazz fürn Hintergrund, schön lange Tracks!

Blues

Pretty good, nothing particularly ground breaking, but overall very enjoyable

Chill, languid, warm jams, sounds like a food coma at a family function

Instrumental, bluesy, good vibe

Good stuff

After immersing myself in the soulful, water-like textures of Jimmy Smith's Hammond organ, I can confidently say that Back At The Chicken Shack is the ultimate "vibe" record. It’s a masterclass in soul-jazz that feels like the sonic equivalent of a warm, dimly lit room or a late-night drive where everything finally feels in sync.

Fucking fantastic. Reminds me of being crammed in at Green Lady Lounge, a Sazerac in hand, band sweating it out a few feet away. Lovely.

I enjoyed this quite a bit, although some of it gave me flashbacks of high school jazz band.

I enjoyed this. I’m not a huge fan of jazz yet, but I love the blues. This was a good mix.

Not for me.

That was cool! I didnt know of Jimmy Smith. Solid Organ player, very jazzy album lol. Can't pretend like i know the intricacies within jazz that qualifies this as a must listen, but it was enjoyable and fun to play along w too.

Having never heard of Jimmy Smith and not knowing what to expect, hearing how smooth the keys start on "Back At The Chicken Shack" was SUPER pleasing. Jazzy af and kinda "soulful" and "churchy" because of the tone of the keyboard. It reminded me of like a sermon you'd hear at a big church with the guy saying "PRAISSEEE THE LAWWDDDD" accentuated by the keys everytime I def enjoyed the listen, would I go back to it? Maybe, it probably has a space on my easy listening or weekend cleaning playlist.

It’s nice but I’m just not as into instrumental jazz as I wish I was

Jazzy.

79 Based on this scale: 1 - 0 to 19 2 - 20 to 39 3 - 40 to 59 4 - 60 to 79 5 - 80 to 100 Solid album. Drumming was fun.

KENNY BURRELL!!!!!!!!!!!! I <3 instrumental music!!!!!

Jazz is always influential!

good

Fijn album. Leuk om te luisteren bij boekje lezen ofzo. Goede band voor met rook gevuld cafeetje. Ik ga er wel niet direct iets van in een afspeellijst zetten.

It's fine, nothing I remember all that much though. Will I listen to again: 2%

Good dog Favourite tracks: When I Grow Too Old to Dream, Minor Chant

This was a nice listen and I have heard other work by Stanley Turrentine and Kenny Burrell who are lead musicians in their own right. His organ playing is impressive.

This album has a cool vibe to it that I enjoy. Organ-based jazz funk music.

I get really excited about the ones I’ve never heard of, especially if they have cool titles and album covers. That being said this album was so boring. It’s decent enough background music but even then I found myself craving something more exciting.

I like this, not my usual jam but a good change and definitely interesting to listen to and enjoy during a meal

This is definitely the type of thing I would put on to impress other white people. Very good, cool grooves, excellent musicianship. Easy and fun to listen to. This is why Hammonds became cool. That being said, there is something about jazz guitar I will never understand or enjoy. I get why people play jazz and why people go and see jazz—the witness of a process—but I don’t understand listening to an archive of that process with the attendant mistakes and imperfections, unless it’s a live album and even then. But whatever, but whatever, it’s good. My appetite for jazz is just limited.

-never heard of this guy but i love the album name and cover -this guy looks like be knows what tf is UP -jazzy sort of instrumental to start the album off which is nice -see, this would be a great album to get if i really loved jazz (i don’t really love jazz) -and thats fine! jazz is great music! just not what i personally really like -so in my opinion, this album is kinda boring. and i wouldn’t really listen to it again -does that make it bad? NO! -it sounds cool tho. i will give it that -so for that, it gets a 3 -cause a 2 feels too harsh for this. its just jazz

Absolute vibe. The bridge from bebop to Stax

fijn om jazz orgel te hebben, ben hier wel fan van. maar precies eerder nummers om op te zoeken ipv om in afspeellijst te zetten. Voor avondje boek te lezen als het buiten regent. Of voor in een met rook gevuld café gans op los te gaan en achteraf te zeggen 'amai dat was een tof café'. Pokkelange nummers wel.

Leuke vibe, tot voor zo een cozy vibe of op een gezellige café

groovy af diddly diddly

Saucy af. Name a more chilled out vibe. You can't.

So it's a blues album? First track donnt sound too half bad. So it's all instrumental? Oh it's technically jazz. Jazz is fine. Yall gotta really blow me away like miles Davis

Very good. Definitely influenced modern sounds you hear in todays music of similar genre. 9/10

Fantastic jazz album. The sax, keys, and guitar solos stood out to me especially. Rhythm section doesn’t miss. Messy Bessie was my favorite.

Bonus track is great too!

Not very exciting but perfectly listenable jazz. Hammond organ brings a cool element. Wish the drums weren’t so quiet in the mix.

Uses organs instrument - would be great to remix

At first I wondered 'why does he keep going back to the chicken shack', but now I do in fact get why he keeps coming back to the chicken shack

Straightforward jazz album. Good if you’re into that sort of thing, I suppose.

Accessibility is good but maybe too much so, after a time I felt like I was doing Xmas shopping at the mall

Good music for relaxing

I’m not usually a “recorded jazz” guy. I enjoy it much more live, or in a movie, etc. where it is easier to make a connection. This is not the case with this album. It kicks off with some familiar sounding tracks, then continues its easy listening vibe to the end. Low 4.

jazz sax always hits.just right.

That’s some jazzy chicken🐓

Light blues, very chill

Really smooth, really chill. Good to listen to in the car. Good to listen to when entertaining guests. Just good.

Just ok. Listened to in the background

Pleasant jazz. The album ended and I made it through the first two songs again (18 mins) before I noticed. Easy listening!

It’s just jazz

Really good listening. However, the songs all sounded very similar so I gave this a 4 rating.

Nicht so meins

Spot on. Perfect for a bit of cooking

Infumable

Pretty tasty jazz, not exactly the style of jazz that I like, but still excellent. The keys are especially soothing and nice.

Other reviews said “dinner party” and I agree - the best kind of dinner party

wonderful smooth classic album. Great listen

Ganz nettes Album, das ich aber eher als Hintergrundmusik einstufen würde: Zum aktiven Hören fehlt es an Abwechslung. Das Saxophon ist teilweise anstrengend und 'Minor Chant' ist für mich stellenweise schwer auszuhalten, insgesamt sind hier drei Sterne redlich verdient.

No vocals, only jazz instrumental, but quite nice.

very jazzy very sauveee

Sounds fine but not my type of music

So much hammond

Eerste nummers waren wel oke, de laatste een beetje saai en eentonig.

Booker T style

Excellent album. Relaxing and exactly what I was looking for.

Great Jazz album. Didn't know I was into jazz, but I surely like this one.

Great record to hit on after a pretty pedestrian and monotonous stretch. Very enjoyable jazz listen to help set the day for a hopefully quiet Friday.

Nice jazz

Enjoyed the organ.

Awesome jazz album.

Solid jazz, enjoyed the organ but got a little monotonous with the one instrument

Really awesome Jazz album. Hammond organ!!

I ♥️ Hammond organ. Cut from the same joyous cloth as 'Green Onions' by Booker T. & the MG's. Take me to that Chicken Shack - This is my kind of jazz! Rating: 4.5/5 Playlist track: Back at the Chicken Shack Date listened: 04/10/23

Excellent! Good flow

Felt like I was trapped in a lift. Claustrophobic 2/10

Always love a good jazz album and this one is GREAT. The cover initially sold me and then the title of the album but once you’re into it? Was a blast to listen to while oddly playing Baldur’s Gate 3 with what I was doing in game.

ya like jazz?

Not really a jazz guy, but this was OK. Tuned out the surroundings on my bus journey.

Love that funky organ

There's nothing wrong with this album, but I don't really believe it's one of the albums I need to listen to before I die.

who am i, a human, to not like jazz?

I had never heard of this album or artist. It's nice, easy to listen to jazz. It kind of reminded me of Henry Mancini, and sounded similar to Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs. I'll have to look into why this was included on the list. Even though I enjoyed it, it didn't seem to be groundbreaking or all that special.

I enjoyed this, I only really know of Jimmy Smith because of "root down" being sampled by the Beastie Boys but this was a pleasant listen whilst I worked.

Alright, just instrumental

Smooth Soundtrack, without vocals

Terrific for a (nearly) autumn Saturday afternoon. Can feel my spirit noodling around with the rifts. I love the interplay between the crisp guitar and smooth sax and the belly sound of the organ. Playful and wise, loose in the shoulder joints. Very nice.

Very cool. Loses a point, arbitrarily and unfairly, for still being jazz.

Great way to start a Friday. I knew I would like it before the music even started. And I do!

I really liked that version of Sunnyside of the Street

back at the chicken shack - 68 when i grow too old to dream - 75 minor chant - 71 messy bessie - 74

not mich to say, good for chilling but I wouldn't listen to it again. -A

Easy Listening. Feel like I’m in the Sandlot with background music.

Bro those keys though! And the sax such a vibe. But I have to parsel through jazz albums no matter how good they are.

If I have to spend 44 minutes listening to hold music, I'd at least expect a better phone deal at the end of it.

Incredible jazz album!

Cute backgrounds music when you clean the house, or if you want a vintage bar atmosphere

Didn’t know the artist but liked this album a lot, it was a nice surprise!

Jazzy Hamond Orgel
