Jimmy Smith: Organ Grinder Swing
by C. Andrew Hovan
It was through his early work on Blue Note that the world-shattering innovations of Jimmy Smith first reached the record buying public.

On this 1972 reissue, three of the album’s original tracks are restored to their full, unedited length and ...

by Derek Taylor
Sharing a fate similar to many musical innovators who weather the test of time Jimmy Smith eventually became a prisoner of the very style he pioneered.
