The Sermon!

The Sermon! (1958) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

This LP contains a quartet version of "Flamingo" (with the all-star group of organist Jimmy Smith, trumpeter Lee Morgan, guitarist Kenny Burrell and drummer Art Blakey) and Smith's minor-toned original "J.O.S." (starring Smith's trio, altoist George Coleman and Morgan). However, it is the sidelong 20 1/2 minute "The Sermon" (a tribute to pianist ...

Midnight Special

Midnight Special (1960) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

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 ...

The Cat

The Cat (1964) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

Compared to his earlier Blue Note recordings, organist Jimmy Smith's outings for Verve are not as strong from a jazz standpoint. Certainly his renditions of the "Theme from Joy House," "The Cat" and the "Main Title from The Carpetbaggers" are not all that significant. However, this CD has some tasteful arrangements for the big band by Lalo ...

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1964) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

The combination of organist Jimmy Smith teamed with Oliver Nelson's big band featuring Nelson and Claus Ogerman's arrangements has arguably yielded mixed results. "Walk on the Wild Side" is probably the most acclaimed and potent of the pairings, while "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" produces more questions than answers. The music tends to be ...

Heavy Ornamentals

Heavy Ornamentals (2006) more music like this

by The Gourds

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 ...

Root Down

Root Down (1972) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

Toward the end of his stint with Blue Note, Jimmy Smith's albums became predictable. Moving to Verve in the mid-'60s helped matters considerably, since he started playing with new musicians (most notably nice duets with Wes Montgomery) and new settings, but he never really got loose, as he did on select early Blue Note sessions. Part of the ...

Jimmy & Wes: The Dynamic Duo

Jimmy & Wes: The Dynamic Duo (1966) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery

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 ...

Dot Com Blues

Dot Com Blues (2001) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

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 ...

House Party

House Party (1957) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

In 2000 when Blue Note upgraded 1958's House Party as part of the label's superior Rudy Van Gelder series, they augmented the title with a ten-plus minute driving blow of Charlie Parker's "Confirmation" as a well-chosen bonus track. Now the effort is bookended by some primal Bird, which was always a forte of the assembled coterie. In addition to ...

Off the Top (1982) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

It had been nine years since organist Jimmy Smith recorded for a major label when Bruce Lundvall approached him to make an album for Elektra Musician. Smith plays some unusual material (including Lionel Richie's "Endless Love" and the "Theme from M.A.S.H.") on this recording but swings everything and has a particularly strong supporting cast -- ...

Six Views of the Blues (1958) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

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," ...

Incredible! (2000) more music like this

by Joey DeFrancesco & Jimmy Smith

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 ...

Straight Life (2007) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

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 ...

The Further Adventures of Jimmy and Wes (1966) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery

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 ...

All the Way Live (1981) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith & Eddie Harris

Strange as it seems, organist Jimmy Smith and tenor saxophonist Eddie Harris have to this date only played together once. Their recorded collaboration at San Francisco's Keystone Korner in 1981 has recently been released for the first time by Milestone on All the Way Live. Harris (who utilizes an electrified tenor) and Smith (along with drummer ...

Got My Mojo Workin'/Hoochie Cooche Man (1965) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

After leading a series of notable jam sessions for Blue Note, organist Jimmy Smith signed a lucrative contract with Verve in 1962. Throughout the remainder of the decade, he recorded songs that ranged from treasures to trash, turning most of the music into bluesy vamps. On this CD, a reissue of the LPs Got My Mojo Workin' and Hoochie Cooche Man, ...

Stadium Blitzer (1998) more music like this

by The Gourds

To the uninitiated, the title Stadium Blitzer is more likely to conjure up images of German metal music than Americana by way of Texas. Americana, however, complete with accordions and mandolins, is what the Gourds are all about. Originally recorded in 1997, this album received a wider 2001 release, thanks to the folks at Sugar Hill. The first ...

Organ Grinder Swing (1965) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

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 ...

Retrospective (2004) more music like this

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 ...

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 ...

Back at the Chicken Shack (1960) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

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 ...

Dem's Good Beeble (1997) more music like this

by The Gourds

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 ...

Bolsa de Agua (2000) more music like this

Only a few groups (The Silos, Tragically Hip, Los Lobos among them) have ever come close to capturing the true spirit of the Band. Many have tried, but most have fallen miserably flat. Bolsa de Agua is album number four for the Gourds, but with the recent addition of journeyman alt-country six-stringer Max Johnson, all the pieces are in place: ...
