Designed to appeal to hip-hop and acid jazz fans, not jazz purists, Talkin
Verve: Roots of Acid Jazz collects 14 tracks Jimmy Smith cut for Verve during
the late 60s. Comprised of pop covers and funky workouts, the music is jazzy,
not jazz -- theres little improvisation on the record, but there is a lot of hot
vamping, with Smith creating dense, funky chord clusters and bluesy leads. Its
music that is devoted to the groove, and while a few of these cuts fall flat --
Ode to Billie Joe has no funk in it, no matter how hard you try -- but for the
most part Talkin Verve is soulful fun. Not much of this sounds like acid jazz,
especially since the rhythms are a little stiff, but its enjoyable lite funk,
and its more palatable in the compilation than it is on their original
albums.~Stephen Thomas Erlewine
