Fantastic Jimmy Smith

Add to Cart$1.99 ... LP
(€1.52 || £1.30 || ¥199) (approx.)
LP (Item 395370) Up Front, Mid 50s — Condition: Very Good

Rare work from Jimmy Smith! These recordings are early pre-Blue Note sides by Jimmy – originally recorded for the Bruce and Power record labels, and issued over the years on a number of dodgy knock-off labels, without any proper notations, and (usually) pretty terrible sound. Jimmy's in a hard grooving R&B mode here – playing with all the revolutionary approach he brought to his early Blue Note sides, but focusing a bit more on the swing and less on the solo. Titles include "Jimmy Swings", "Jeepers Creepers", "It's A Sin To Tell A Lie", "Undecided", "I Had The Craziest Dream", "Stranger In Paradise", and "This Nearly Was Mine". (Deep groove pressing. Cover has light wear and aging.)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
