Musical comfort food.......2001-05-15

For anyone who's a big fan of Jimmy Smith's small group recordings, this album is a must have. "Home Cookin'" includes Mr. Smith with master guitarist Kenny Burrell, equally masterful saxophonist Percy France, and drummer Donald Bailey. The band plays with a combination of relaxed ease and sustained intensity that is hallmark of Jimmy Smith's great 50's and 60's recordings. Highlights of the album include originals like "Messin' Around", "Gracie", "Sugar Hill"(penned by Kenny Burrell), and covers of "See See Rider", "I Got A Woman". This reissue includes five bonus tracks including alternate versions of "Motorin' Along", and "Since I Fell For You". One other thing that always made this album one of my favorite Jimmy Smith albums was the cover. Definitely one of the best and most memorable cover photos Francis Wolff ever took. And Jimmy, I want to know where you got that leather coat? Superfly man!!!

Soul Food, Chicken Grease, and Hammond B-3 soul.......2000-04-21

Wow, now here's a good work for you hammond b-3 fans. The small 3 personal group that basically epitomizes the Jimmy Smith sound in his blue-note years are here. With the added tenor saxophone work of Percy France, you got a great combination of soul food for you ears! Like the title of the album, there is a great deal of blues entwined inside every track. Highlights on the album were immediately the really driving "I Got a Woman," a great Ray Charles standard that Kenny Burrell, another fine jazz guitarist really shines. There are points when it seems that this is more a blues-jazz group, there isn't much in terms of be-bop flashiness, which may turn off some arrogant jazz types. It seems that Jimmy Smith's greatest work isn't in the spitty organ leads he pumps, its the subtle organ bass lines that sound incredible. THERE IS NO BASS PLAYER IN HIS GROUP! Every track reveals a good blues sensibility that the hammond b-3 organ seems to lend itself too. Jimmy Smith's album here helps to bridge a great gap between the intellectual and heady jazz of the era with the low-down chicken house organ sounds... Incredible, and this album is one of his best!
