1	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 ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
2	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 ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $13.78!
3	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 ... see all copies from $3.97! new only from $10.35!
4	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 ... see all copies from $7.75! new only from $16.81!
5	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 ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.99!
6	The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever (1999) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $17.65! new only from $17.65!
7	Blood of the Ram (2004) more music like this by The Gourds 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 $6.95! new only from $14.42!
8	The Sermon! (1958) more music like this by Jimmy Smith The seven sides on The Sermon! (1958) come from a pair of studio dates, the first of which was held August 25, 1957 and includes Jimmy Smith (organ), Lee Morgan (trumpet), George Coleman (alto sax), Curtis Fuller (trombone), Eddie McFadden (guitar), Kenny Burrell (guitar) and Donald Bailey (drums). This was followed by a second exactly six months ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $10.79!
9	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 ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $14.60!
10	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 ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
11 view cover	A Night Out With Verve (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A Night Out With Verve highlights five decades of remarkable jazz taken from the Verve catalog, spread out over four discs titled "Wining," "Dining," "Dancing," and "Romancing." This budget-priced box set includes 65 performances from jazz luminaries including Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Michel Legrand, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Louis Armstrong ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $24.50!
12 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $24.79! new only from $24.79!
13 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $7.93! new only from $14.60!
14 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $4.35! new only from $4.35!
15 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $8.85! new only from $8.85!
16 view cover	Jimmy Smith's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by Jimmy Smith 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 $10.99! new only from $10.99!
17 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
18 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
19 view cover	Walk on the Wild Side: The Best of the Verve Years (1962) more music like this by Jimmy Smith Smith recorded most of his most popular sides for Verve, and this double CD contains 25 tracks taken from his recordings for the label between 1962 and 1973, in both small-combo and big-band settings. There are a few Jimmy Smith compilations out there, and this isn't necessarily the best; anthologies that focus on his early and mid-'60s prime ... see all copies from $20.72! new only from $20.72!
20 view cover	Legacy (2005) more music like this by Joey DeFrancesco/Jimmy Smith Extending the good vibes created out of their first pairing on the live recording Incredible!, organists Joey Defrancesco and Jimmy Smith get down to business on Legacy. The two stellar and funky musicians have a great musical rapport and seem to really enjoy playing together. Fans of Incredible! will most likely find much to enjoy here. The album ... see all copies from $17.72! new only from $17.72!
21 view cover	Bolsa de Agua (2000) more music like this by The Gourds 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: ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
22 view cover	The Best of Blue Note, Vols. 1 & 2 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Granted, a single-disc overview of Blue Note's finest recordings can't help but offer listeners more than a myopic view of the label's true scope, but for jazz neophytes, this nine-track collection will undoubtedly serve as a tantalizing taste of the company's riches. The song selection, though lacking few surprises, is consistently wonderful -- ... see all copies from $8.96! new only from $16.31!
23 view cover	Have Yourself a Jazzy Little Christmas [Verve] (1989) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $6.44! new only from $8.25!
24 view cover	Cow Fish Fowl or Pig (2002) more music like this by The Gourds 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 $15.98! new only from $15.98!
25 view cover	Verve's Grammy Winners (1994) more music like this by Various Artists For the non-cognoscente, winning a Grammy award might indicate a best effort from an artist in any particular year. To the performer or publicist, it's something to be promoted and proud of. Jazz listeners are not likely to care all that much, given how the music is routinely snubbed. It's nice that the Verve label made this collection of 15 ... see all copies from $1.99!
