Paul Horn: Too High
On "Too High," the organ and bass take the lead while the drums lock into a chill-but-tight pocket. Where Stevie Wonder's original is layered, socially conscious, and vocally driven, Horn's take is relaxed and buoyant, focused on texture and groove instead of story. The vocals glide over the rhythm and practically dare you to get up out of your chair.
If you're craving something smooth that still moves, give this track a spin—the feel is warm and steady-the kind that sneaks up on you and gets your head nodding before you even realize it.
