On The Sunny Side (Japanese pressing – with bonus tracks)

CD (Item 615682) Blue Note (Japan), Late 50s/1981 — Condition: New Copy

A wealth of unreleased tracks recorded by Jimmy Smith for Blue Note in the late 50s – most of them short, with a feel that's like his 45rpm work for the label! The sound here is prime early Smith – that totally cooking Hammond sound he had back in the day – mostly set up here in a trio with Kenny Burrell on guitar and Donald Bailey on drums – with guest tenor on a track each by Stanley Turrentine and the obscure Percy France! The tenors are quite welcome when they appear, but the trio material is plenty smoking too – and titles include "Since I Fell For You", "Apostrophe", "Ruby", "September Song", and "Little Blue Girl". CD features bonus alternates of "Since I Fell For You" and "Motorin Along".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
