Jimmy Smith- The Fantastic Jimmy Smith (CD)
The Fantastic Jimmy Smith is a collection of tunes that are believed to be the very first recordings of the great jazz organist Jimmy Smith as a leader fronting his own band, featuring the singing drummer Don Gardner. The recordings portray a young Jimmy Smith whose style is still in development and shows the direct influence of the great Wild Bill Davis. The album should be a real eye opener for those who are only familiar with Smith's early work for the Blue Note label. All selections have been newly remastered.
Tracklist:
- Stranger In Paradise
- Jimmy's Jam
- It's A Sin To Tell A Lie
- I Can't Give You Anything But Love
- I Had The Craziest Dream
- Tell Me
- I Hear A Rhapsody
- Jeepers Creepers
- Jimmy's Swing
- Misery
