Thanks for the info. I didn't know about Root Down being an homage to Smith. Thanks!

... Root Down; some of Smith's Dirtiest ... (Reply to this comment)

.

The title for the main tune is a nod to the sample they lifted off the great Hammond B-3 player Jimmy Smith's 1972 live recording of the same namesake. This down & dirty album was a dynamic fusion that showcased an uncharacteristically unrestrained (double-negative intended) Smith absolutely "tearing it up". Probably not exactly your cup of tea, it was just reissued a year-or-so back, and i think it's pretty damn electro-funkified-erriffic.
