JIMMY SMITH THE CAT
Label:Verve
Original Release:1964
Format: Mp3@320



Compared to his earlier Blue Note recordings, organist Jimmy Smith\'s outings for Verve are not as strong from a jazz standpoint. Certainly his renditions of the \"Theme from Joy House,\" \"The Cat\" and the \"Main Title from The Carpetbaggers\" are not all that significant. However, this CD has some tasteful arrangements for the big band by Lalo Schifrin and some good playing by the great organist on a variety of other blues-oriented material. Also the combination of organ with a big band is sometimes quite appealing, making this CD worth picking up despite its commercial tracks. ~
