Jimmy McGriff – I've Got a New Woman (1967) | Soul Jazz Album Review

 

SOLID STATE RECORDS 1968           SS 18030 

notes:

Jimmy McGriff was one of the defining figures of the soul jazz organ

 movement, and his 1967 release I've Got a New Woman stands as 

a strong example of his groove-driven style.

Released during the golden era of soul jazz, the album blends blues, 

gospel influences, and rhythm & blues energy, all centered around 

McGriff’s signature Hammond B-3 organ sound.

This record captures the essence of late-1960s jazz evolution, where

 accessibility and groove became just as important as improvisation.
