Back At The Chicken Shack
Jimmy Smith

We're at the 10% mark and there's been only one other jazz album so far. I'm so happy this one made the list! It's not one of the usual suspects from Miles or Coltrane, but man, it really captures a lot of mid-century jazz greatness. It's not flashy. It's not pushing the envelope or redefining anything. But if you walked into a bar and these cats were laying this stuff down, you'd remember it forever.
