Picked up Reuben Wilson's Set Us Free the other day (Half Price Books for $4!). Reuben was a great jazz-soul organist, probably up there with Jimmy Smith as my favorite jazz organists ever. Both had two great albums in the late 60's/early 70's (Jimmy Smith had Root Down and The Sermon, Reuben Wilson had Blue Mode and Set Us Free, released in 1971). This track "Sho-Nuff Mellow" has a great groove, once it gets going around the 45 second mark. Dig the congas/percussion, bluesy guitar, and the funky organ!
Reuben Wilson's Set Us Free is a great album that contains everything from congas to sitars to a backing female choir. Good stuff, and great music to get you in the groove for the weekend!
