Gears is an album by jazz keyboardist Johnny Hammond. It was released in 1975 and produced by Larry and Fonce Mizell.
Several tracks have either sampled or taken inspiration from tracks on the album, most notably "Los Conquistadores Chocolates". A track titled "When You Gonna Learn" by UK group Jamiroquai, led by founding member Jay Kay, has chord progressions that bear a striking resemblance to the original chord progressions of a Smith's track "Los Conquistadores Chocolates". However, this was not by accident, as the booklet of the Acid Jazz Records release of the single bears a "special thanks" note to Smith, who gave permission to Jay Kay to use the composition's structure.
