1	Groovin' at Small's Paradise, Vols. 1-2 [CD] (1999) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist see all copies from $9.57! new only from $9.57!
2	Have Yourself a Jazzy Little Christmas [Verve] (1989) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This 15-track CD has something for everyone: the smooth vocal styling of Billy Eckstine on "Christmas Eve," and the purring Dinah Washington on the seductive "Ole Santa," and Ella Fitzgerald showing her soft and sentimental side on the single, "The Secret of Christmas." Billie Holiday, with help from Benny Carter and Sweets Edison, warms up the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.19!
3	Jimmy & Wes: The Dynamic Duo (1966) more music like this by Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery add to wishlist Creed Taylor matched two of his most famous artists, Wes Montgomery and Jimmy Smith, on this session (Montgomery's last for Verve), and the results are incendiary -- a near-ideal meeting of yin and yang. Smith comes at your throat with his big attacks and blues runs while Montgomery responds with rounder, smoother octaves and single notes that ... see all copies from $5.31! new only from $15.34!
4	Christmas '64 [2005] (1964) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist see all copies from $7.66! new only from $7.73!
5	Organ Grinder Swing (1965) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist Most of organist Jimmy Smith's recordings for Verve during the mid-to-late '60s were with big bands, making this trio outing with guitarist Kenny Burrell and drummer Grady Tate a special treat. This CD reissue is a throwback to Smith's Blue Note sets (which had concluded two years earlier) and gives the organists the opportunity to stretch out on ... see all copies from $13.78! new only from $13.78!
6	Dot Com Blues (2001) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist On his first album in more than five years, Jimmy Smith, who turned 75 shortly before the release date, attempts the soul-jazz version of what Santana did on Supernatural -- heavily featuring guest stars in an attempt to broaden his appeal. The basic band consists of Smith on organ, Reggie McBride on bass guitar, and Harvey Mason on drums, but ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.51!
7	Jimmy Smith's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist Verve's Finest Hour collection of Jimmy Smith's work compiles 60 minutes of career highlights, including "Walk on the Wild Side," "Got My Mojo Workin'," "James and Wes," and "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag." Though it's by no means a definitive compilation of Smith's music, it does provide an entertaining overview of some of his funkiest moments. ~ ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.14!
8	Blood of the Ram (2004) more music like this by The Gourds add to wishlist Scorch-porch? Beergrass? Hick-hop? All three tags have attempted, and ultimately failed, to successfully relate to the masses the eclectic bits of meat and bone that make up Austin, TX, the Gourds. The bandmembers themselves describe their Twilight Zone, sepia-tone, gravy-drenched fools-gold nuggets as "music for the unwashed and well-read," and ... see all copies from $5.73! new only from $14.60!
9	Back at the Chicken Shack [RVG] (1960) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist Back at the Chicken Shack is one of organist Jimmy Smith's classic Blue Note sessions, and the first to draw attention to tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine. Recorded in 1960 with Kenny Burrell on guitar, Donald Bailey on drums, and Turrentine, the group reaches the peak of funky soul-jazz that all other challengers of the genre would have to ... see all copies from $8.16! new only from $8.16!
10	Cool Blues [Bonus Tracks] (1958) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist This CD should greatly interest all Jimmy Smith collectors, including those who already have the original LP. In addition to four excellent selections (quintets with altoist Lou Donaldson, Tina Brooks on tenor, guitarist Eddie McFadden, either Art Blakey or Donald Bailey on drums, and the organist/leader), there are three previously unissued ... see all copies from $6.25! new only from $6.25!
11	Home Cookin' [Bonus Tracks] (1959) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist This Japanese import contains a 24-bit remastering of Jimmy Smith's (organ) Blue Note era release Home Cookin' (1959). Although he never gained 'household name' status, his expansive catalog of recordings has long been considered as essential listening for lovers of post-bop and jazz keyboard. Joined by Donald Bailey (drums), Kenny Burrell (guitar ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $7.96!
12	Midnight Special [RVG] (1960) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist Midnight Special is a perfect complement to Back at the Chicken Shack, which was recorded the same day. Organist Jimmy Smith, tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, and guitarist Kenny Burrell always make for a potent team, and with drummer Donald Bailey completing the group, the quartet digs soulfully into such numbers as the groovin' "Midnight ... see all copies from $9.46! new only from $9.46!
13	Heavy Ornamentals (2006) more music like this by The Gourds add to wishlist The Gourds have been relentlessly spewing up quality records that challenge the conventions of both country and pop music with equal parts earnestness and irreverence for over a decade. Bandleaders Kevin Russell and Jimmy Smith write hyper-literate songs that challenge even the most learned grad student while retaining enough "good old boy" idioms ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $12.98!
14	The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever may boast a silly title, but it's hard to argue with what's on this double-disc sampler. Not all of the label's greatest artists are here, but everything is representative, showing how hard bop like John Coltrane's "Blue Train" and Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder" coexisted with soul-jazz from Grant Green ( ... see all copies from $16.00! new only from $16.00!
15	Talkin' Verve: Roots of Acid Jazz (1996) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist Designed to appeal to hip-hop and acid jazz fans, not jazz purists, Talkin' Verve: Roots of Acid Jazz collects 14 tracks Jimmy Smith cut for Verve during the late '60s. Comprised of pop covers and funky workouts, the music is "jazzy," not jazz -- there's little improvisation on the record, but there is a lot of hot vamping, with Smith creating ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $13.78!
16	Six Views of the Blues (1958) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist This is quite an unusual date for Jimmy Smith during his Blue Note years. He leads a quartet with baritone saxophonist Cecil Payne, guitarist Kenny Burrell and either Art Blakey or Donald Bailey on drums, one of the rare occasions he didn't use Lou Donaldson during this period. Except for a remake of Moe Koffman's hit "Swingin' Shepherd Blues," ... see all copies from $12.61! new only from $12.61!
17	Cow Fish Fowl or Pig (2002) more music like this by The Gourds add to wishlist The photo of the Gourds on the back of the CD booklet makes an odd impression: just a few good old boys, sloppily dressed with beers in hand, sort of a shorthaired version of Lynyrd Skynyrd. But this anti-intellectual pose is just a pose. The title itself, Cow Fish Fowl or Pig seems a bit fantastic, as though someone in the band had spent time in ... see all copies from $8.25! new only from $16.42!
18	Prayer Meetin' [Bonus Tracks] (1963) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist Playing piano-style single-note lines on his Hammond B-3 organ, Jimmy Smith revolutionized the use of the instrument in a jazz combo setting in the mid-'50s and early '60s, and arguably his best albums for Blue Note during this period were the ones he did with tenor sax player Stanley Turrentine. Recorded on February 8, 1963, at Van Gelder Studio ... see all copies from $8.64! new only from $8.64!
19	Incredible! (2000) more music like this by Joey DeFrancesco & Jimmy Smith add to wishlist Incredible! documents a unique musical encounter, the first time that Jimmy Smith has recorded with another organist, the equally great Joey DeFrancesco. First DeFrancesco is heard with his usual trio (with guitarist Paul Bollenbeck and drummer Byron Landham), racing through heated versions of "The Champ," "When You're Smiling," and "Indiana" in ... see all copies from $5.93! new only from $6.00!
20	Boss [Bonus Track] (1968) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist Recorded at Paschal's La Carousel in Atlanta, GA, Boss contains lots of fine solos from bassist Jimmy Smith. Guest George Benson does the best soul-jazz work since the Brother Jack McDuff & the Big Soul Band days. [This version of the album includes bonus material.] ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.30! new only from $7.30!
21	The Further Adventures of Jimmy and Wes (1966) more music like this by Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery add to wishlist Further Adventures of Jimmy and Wes picks up where Dynamic Duo left off, digging a little further into the one-time-only Wes Montgomery/Jimmy Smith sessions and coming up with more fine music -- mellower in general than Dynamic Duo but first-class nonetheless. Unlike most of the studio sessions from this time, Montgomery gets plenty of room for ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $12.45!
22	Straight Life (2007) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist The tracks that make up Straight Life had been sitting in the Blue Note vaults since they were recorded on June 22, 1961, representing the only recorded output that year by Jimmy Smith and his trio of the era, which included guitarist Quentin Warren and drummer Donald Bailey. Somehow these ten songs got lost in the shuffle between the 1960 Blue ... see all copies from $2.59! new only from $2.59!
23	Fourmost Return (2001) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist Recorded during the same 1990 gig at Fat Tuesday's as the earlier Fourmost CD, Fourmost Return features Jimmy Smith, Stanley Turrentine, Kenny Burrell, and Grady Tate in great form once again, so this is no compilation of lukewarm leftovers. The music includes a burning, up-tempo take of "Sonnymoon for Two" and a bluesy and lyrical interpretation ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
24	Dem's Good Beeble (1997) more music like this by The Gourds add to wishlist As the title of Dem's Good Beeble indicates, the debut album of the Austin-based cowpunk outfit the Gourds is a little bit too kitschy for their own good. But if you can get past that off-putting sense of humor, you'll find that the band has an endearingly ramshackle attack that makes their ragged country-rock ingratiating. Still, Dem's Good ... see all copies from $11.95! new only from $17.72!
25	Retrospective (2004) more music like this by Jimmy Smith add to wishlist For those who have found B3 sensation Jimmy Smith's voluminous Blue Note catalog daunting and can't find a place to start, this handsome four-CD Retrospective, covering 30 years, may be the way in. Thirty-seven of the set's thirty-eight tracks are culled from Smith's albums recorded between 1956 and 1963 -- the last, recorded in 1986, is taken ... see all copies from $58.48! new only from $58.48!
