Mama Wailer - Lonnie Smith - Audio CD - Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Few albums capture the playful virtuosity and deep groove of early 1970s jazz like Lonnie Smith’s 'Mama Wailer.' Released in 1971, this album sees the legendary Hammond B3 organist at his most adventurous, fusing blues, jazz, and funk into a simmering, danceable stew. Smith’s deft touch and expressive phrasing animate every track, from the sinuous title cut to his transformative take on 'I Feel the Earth Move.' Supported by a powerhouse band, including George Benson on guitar and Grover Washington Jr. on saxophone, 'Mama Wailer' is a masterclass in group interplay and freewheeling improvisation. What makes this record essential isn’t just its technical brilliance, but its infectious spirit. Smith’s organ lines are playful yet commanding, coaxing joy from every groove. The album’s energetic yet laid-back vibe makes it perfect for both attentive listening and relaxed evenings. For vinyl collectors, 'Mama Wailer' is more than a classic—it’s a snapshot of a moment when jazz was restless, boundary-pushing, and deeply connected to the rhythms of everyday life. If you’re looking to enrich your collection with an album that radiates warmth, soul, and creativity, this is the one to own.
