Customer Reviews:

Mostly for the JOS devotees.......2006-02-12

In the vast Jimmy Smith discography you will always find some "weak and uninspired" albums on the average, and Black Cat is one of them. This CD has largely the same content as Daybreak (WestWind 2133) with Jimmy in an unusual interplay with flute-master Nestor Torres on most tracks and stallmate Phil Upchurch on some tracks. Nothing new with familiar tunes like Moanin', Satin Doll and Eight Counts for Rita - basic JOS organ groove on semi-automatic. By mistake the album sleeve indicates a bassist on 4 tracks - no elbass og doublebass can sound like organbass when Jimmy hits the pedals. Since the concert with Nestor Torres is available on DVD, you might find the visuals more interesting than the CD.. Average album only for JOS devotees and completist.
