Roddus Album Of The Day
A nice Jazz album from organist Jimmy Smith. A mix of quality slow and mid tempo numbers fueled by Smiths laid back organ and fleshed out by the top saxophone playing of Stanley Turrentine and some cool guitar from Kenny Burrell. This top quartet for this session is completed by drummer Donald Bailey and they all play sweetly on this 1960 session. I had to re check the date for this as the sounds here anticipate jazz/funk and acid jazz by several years. Fairly straight jazz, with nothing too out there to scare your mother and well worth my rating of 4/5.
