"Higher Ground" is an album by jazz organist Johnny Hammond recorded for the Kudu label. The Allmusic site stating "Some of the arrangements seem, well arranged, but as soon as Smith kicks in, the groove is established". The song "Big Sur Suite" has been sampled multiple times including The Beastie Boys "Pass the Mic" and Dr. Dre in "A Nigga Wit a Gun".
With Ron Carter, Jack DeJohnette, George Benson, Hank Crawford, Joe Henderson, Bob James, and a large horn section. Some of the arrangements seem, well… arranged, but as soon as Smith kicks in, the groove is established. Even Creed Taylor (producer) can't stop the Hammond B-3.
