1	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 $17.73! new only from $17.73!
2	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 ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $11.13!
3	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 $13.71! new only from $13.71!
4	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 $11.64! new only from $11.75!
5	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 $7.47! new only from $16.57!
6	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 $11.25! new only from $11.25!
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 $14.80! new only from $14.80!
8	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 $15.97! new only from $24.33!
9	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 $7.58! new only from $10.29!
10	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 $14.80!
11 view cover	Crazy! Baby (1960) more music like this by Jimmy Smith Unlike most of the Jimmy Smith recordings from the era, this CD reissue (which adds "If I Should Lose You" and "When Lights Are Low" to the original LP program) features organist Jimmy Smith's regular group (rather than an all-star band). With guitarist Quentin Warren and drummer Donald Bailey completing the trio, Smith is heard in peak form on ... see all copies from $11.25! new only from $11.25!
12 view cover	Retrospective (2004) more music like this by Jimmy Smith 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 $14.22! new only from $14.22!
13 view cover	Finest in Jazz (2007) more music like this by Jimmy Smith As part of Blue Note's Finest in Jazz series, Hammond organ pioneer Jimmy Smith is spotlighted on seven tracks, six recorded between 1956 and 1960, and "Fungii Mama" released in 1986 upon his return to the label some 20 years later. This set is aimed at the casual listener and includes top-notch soul-jazz performances of "I Got a Woman," "Minor ... see all copies from $9.39! new only from $9.39!
14 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 $14.80! new only from $14.80!
15 view cover	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 -- ... see all copies from $9.29! new only from $9.29!
16 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 $11.64! new only from $12.07!
17 view cover	The Best of Jimmy Smith: The Blue Note Years (1956) more music like this by Jimmy Smith Covering prime early recordings from 1956-1960 and one mid-'80s cut, Blue Note's The Best of Jimmy Smith offers up a fine introduction to the trailblazing jazz organist. Smith's Blue Note sessions not only introduced the world to the complex solo possibilities of the Hammond B3 organ, but simultaneously ushered in the soul-jazz era of the '60s, ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
18 view cover	Home Cookin' [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Jimmy Smith 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 $11.13! new only from $11.13!
19 view cover	Cool Blues [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Jimmy Smith 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 $11.13! new only from $11.13!
20 view cover	Keep on Comin' (1983) more music like this by Jimmy Smith Organist Jimmy Smith's second of two LPs for the Elektra Musician label is unusual in a couple of respects. He had never played organ with tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin before and on one piece, "Piano Solo Medley," Smith has a very rare feature on piano. Otherwise, Keep on Comin' is in the soulfully swinging vein that one associates with the ... see all copies from $11.10! new only from $14.17!
21 view cover	Peter and the Wolf (1966) more music like this by Jimmy Smith Of all of organist Jimmy Smith's big-band albums recorded for Verve, this is one of the most imaginative ones. Oliver Nelson arranged a variety of themes from Prokofiev's Peter & the Wolf into a swinging suite featuring the great organist Jimmy Smith. Although there is no verbal narrative on this LP, Nelson's liner notes tell the story (which can ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $13.91!
22 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 $16.02! new only from $16.17!
23 view cover	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 $4.00! new only from $10.29!
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 $15.23! new only from $15.23!
25 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 $15.23! new only from $15.23!
