You know it's going to be one of those nights when the song that makes you stop dead in your tracks is a Soviet jazz cover of a Staple Singers song. The Melodiya Ensemble do a formidable job with the Staples' "Why Am I Treated So Bad", a surprisingly potent groove, low key though it is. If you really want a low key groove, check Cannonball Adderly's cover. It's total soul jazz for swinging stoners.
