Great Jazz.......2003-03-12

I first heard Jimmy Smith on a Sony Jazz completion I was given in college and I have loved Jimmy's music ever since. Anyway, you'll really enjoy this CD. I would say his music is very bluesy with a jazz groove. So if you like blues you'll love his music and this is a good sampling of his music. Also check out the stuff he did with Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell. This CD is a must for any jazz collection.

A spectacular tasting of Jimmy.......2001-06-20

Jimmy Smith, the reigning B3 player of all time, was instrumental in ushering in the soul-jazz genre. These cuts show off his talents and the talents of his formidable sidemen. Mostly cuts from 56-60, with one from the 80's, they include some of his best solo work and his blazing speed. The Sermon and Back at the Chicken Shack and The Champ all show why Jimmy Smith reigns supreme and proves that his work influenced much of the music of the 60s and 70s. The end of The Champ could be confused as an Emerson, Lake and Palmer cut! If you've never heard Jimmy Smith before, this is the perfect album to get into his music.
