Blue Mode

Wilson's Blue Note debut put his Hammond B-3 front and center in a soul jazz setting that leaned hard on organ trio conventions without ever sounding like it was running through motions. The title track became a break collector staple, which has probably brought more people to the record than the original Blue Note audience ever imagined. The rhythm section is working just as hard as Wilson; that balance is why it holds up.
