First Heavy Jazz release. A 7" reissue of the 1968 funk/soul-jazz single by Jimmy Smith, one of the most influential jazz keyboardists and organists of all time. Coming about at a comically Afrofuturistic career highpoint, 'Stay Loose' is an immediately arresting jazz funk cut, documenting Smith's insistence that the listener stay loose, open-minded, soft of heart. Of course, without such an attitude, the spirit of funk simply cannot be inherited.
