Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	LR 120CD

"Jazz organist Jimmy Smith popularized the use of Hammond organ in jazz music and is credited with having invented the soul jazz style. Many of his albums are classics and his influence is omnipresent in the jazz world. For this stellar 1972 release on Verve, the Organ Grinder accompanied by Leroy Vinnegar, Teddy Edwards, Ray Crawford, Donald Dean and Victor Pantoja comes home to where it all began: the blues. These high spirited and relaxed sessions give each musician the chance to stretch out over a tantalizingly funky blues that features five Smith originals along with Harvey Siders' 'Mournin' Wes,' a tribute to friend and fellow musician Wes Montgomery."

For this 1966 release on Verve, Smith once again revisits classic blues tunes with his magic 'Organ Grinder' touch, giving us memorable versions of 'Hoochie Cooche Man,' 'Boom Boom,' 'One Mint Julep,' and Tommy Tucker's 1964 R&B anthem 'Hi-Heel Sneakers' as a bonus track."
