Sit On It / Unfinished Business

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the 'daddy of the Jazz Hammond B3 organ'. Sit on It dates from 1977 and features a stellar band including Herbie Hancock, Return to Forever's Lenny White on drums and session bassman Abraham Laboriel. The album is of it's era and has a strong Jazz Funk influence, and is Smith's most Fusion orientated album. Unfinished Business was Jimmy's third album for Mercury and released in 1978. It is a more jazzy affair. The most in demand track is the Jazz dance tune '8 Counts for Rita' that became popular in London Jazz clubs in the '80s. Sit on it and Unfinished Business display two quite different sides to Jimmy Smith's musical personality. We are delighted to present these two albums on CD for the first time, re-mastered from the original masters, and sounding fresher than ever.
