 (3 Customer Reviews)
Using the monicker 'Incredible' was no flash banner, it was true. Smith defined the Hammond organ as a jazz instrument and milked and bled it to its limit. The sub-credit for guitarist Kenny Burrell and drummer Grady Tate is also well deserved. This is the ultimate groovy, smokey jazz trio record that Smith made. The title track has been used for countless radio trailers over the years, while the often covered Duke Ellington classic, 'Satin Doll', is given extra special effort. Burrell has worked with Smith more than any other musician. His mellow tone and Smith's treble notes blend like cucumber and salmon.
Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on June 15 & 16, 1965. Originally released on Verve (8628).
Personnel: Jimmy Smith (organ); Kenny Burrell (guitar); Grady Tate (drums).

The nearly four decades with musical magic between Jimmy Smith, Kenny Burrell and Grady Tate was kicked-off in 1965 with this master trio album. The album name became synonimous of Jimmy's concert highlights throughout his career. "Oh, no, babe" is a drenched-down blues where both Jimmy and Kenny gives a power demonstration of their musical roots. The lovely ballad "I'll close my eyes" is 3 minute of pure mellowness. The later over-recorded "Satin Doll" by Duke Ellington rounds up this great album with nice organ registration changes that became Jimmy's trademark.

Running the year 1968. I was a teenager 16 years old. I had listened something about the Hammond Monster in the radio.
I bougth this gem in Vinil in that date . It was my first record of Jazz.
This music made so deep impression on me that now i own collection of 200 Vinil Records and 600 cds of jazz music.
My door to the world of Jazz. I preserve the original Vinil with fervorous care. Please listen the track "Oh no, babe" the most emotional blues ever recorded with organ.

Organ Grinder Swing CD music
$6.75   
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks up his sleeve, as in the over-the-top ...

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 Schifrin and some good playing by the great organist on a variety of other blues-oriented material. Also the combination of organ with a big band is sometimes quite appealing, making this CD ...
| | Dexter Gordon Doin' Allright CD (1961) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Organ Grinder Swing album
$8.45
Forget the stylized in-session cover art closeup of the "jazz man at work:" eyes clenched shut, lips pursed around a mouthpiece, dim lighting. On the cover of his Blue Note debut Gordon appears perched in a Central Park carriage in a sharp-looking trench coat, one hand on his horn case, the other waving a cigarette, a big grin on his face. Doin' allright, indeed. And compared to some of his labelmates, Gordon was perhaps something of an already-arrived success, having been on the scene for over twenty years by the time of this 1961 recording.
The confidence one would expect therefore, and the sunny disposition implied by the cover, are equally borne out by the music within. Gordon could write, as evidenced by his two fine originals here, "For Regulars Only" and "Society Red," but he enjoyed working with standards as well and made them swing hard. He doubletimes his way through Gershwin's "I Was Doing All Right" with effortless elegance, ...

Organ Grinder Swing album

During the mid- to late '40s, pianist Claude Thornhill led an orchestra that specialized in accessible instrumental mood music, sweet pop vocals, and (largely thanks to the creative sensibilities of arranger Gil Evans) beautifully orchestrated compositions associated with the latest developments in modern jazz. The Hep label has dedicated more than half-a-dozen CD compilations to Thornhill's musical legacy. Released in 2003, The 1946-47 Performances, Vol. 1 is almost entirely devoted to the sweet strata with vocals by Fran Warren, Buddy Hughes, ...
