Released in mid 1965, Jimmy Smith took a break from the typical big band sessions hed been doing for Verve with this pared-down trio date, enlisting Kenny Burrell (guitar) and Grady Tate (drums) to take on a selection of blues and jazz standards.
From the title track to his own Blues For J, Smith and this all-star group display complete mastery of, arguably, the most swinging of all jazz band configurationsthe organ trio.
