Organ Grinder Swing ... LP 
Verve, 1965. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
No hokey organ grinder here – no monkey on a leash, begging for change on a street corner – just a smoking little trio session that stands as one of the best records that Jimmy Smith ever recorded for Verve! The album's got a groove that's similar to Jimmy's early years at Blue Note ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(MGM stereo pressing with Van Gelder stamp and deep groove. Cover has light ringwear, some edge wear, and bumped corners.)
Verve, 1966. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $5.99
A strange record, and pretty darn goofy – but proof that the Jimmy Smith/Oliver Nelson team could tackle just about anything and make it come up hard and swinging!
