Let's Stay Together (Jimmy McGriff album)

Let's Stay Together is a soul jazz album by organist Jimmy McGriff, released in 1972 on the Groove Merchant label. The album features McGriff's interpretations of popular soul and R&B songs, most notably Al Green's hit single "Let's Stay Together," from which the album derives its name.

The album typically consists of instrumental arrangements driven by McGriff's Hammond organ, supported by a rhythm section and often featuring horn arrangements. The instrumentation commonly includes drums, bass, guitar, and horns (such as saxophone and trumpet).

The album's title track, "Let's Stay Together," is a prominent example of McGriff's ability to translate vocal-based soul music into an instrumental format. Other tracks often include covers of popular tunes from the era, alongside original compositions.

The album generally received positive reviews, praised for McGriff's energetic playing and the overall groove of the arrangements. It's considered a notable entry in McGriff's discography and a solid example of soul jazz music from the early 1970s.
