"The Cat" has to go down as one of the absolute coolest albums of all time. also, check out "Root Down" for that James Brown Band style 70s funk version of Jimmy. his jazz version of "Peter and the Wolf" is pretty amazing too. each album was a slight change in direction for him. a great innovator indeed. although i'm not gay, i'm a sucker for a swingin' organ! (ok...sorry) cheers, Jimmy! thanks for all the great sounds!!
