Johnny Lytle - The Loop 1966 (Tuba Records)
Label : Tuba Records Value : One of the coolest, grooviest albums ever from jazz vibist Johnny Lytle a set that really leans into the impact that he was having with the soul instrumental crowd, and which serves up tunes in these short, tight grooves that show why Johnny was the king of the stepping dancefloor in the 60s! The set's still done with producer Orrin Keepnews, who'd handled Lytle's earlier jazz sides but the tunes are shorter, and have the grooves punched up nicely with plenty of cool Hammond work from organist Milt Harris, and tight drums from Peppy Hinnant augment6ed with work from Willie Rodriguez on congas, and guest piano from Wynton Kelly on a few cuts!
