We don’t know a lot about this album except that it was released on the Verve label in 1969 and the conductor, arranger and producer was Johnny Pate. And of course, Jimmy Smith on Organ. If you like Jimmy Smith on organ combined with a big band this album is for you though Smith’s organ play is not as energetic and unstoppable as on other albums with a big band and a large brass section like The Cat, Peter & The Wolf and Any Number Can Win. Some people call it trash or rubbish. We won’t go that far but to be honest, there have been times we thought it isn’t Jimmy Smith on organ at all.
