Personnel:

Jimmy Smith(org), Donald Byrd (tp), Lou Donaldson (as), Hank Mobley (ts), Eddie McFadden(g), Art Blakey, Donald Bailey (d)

Reference: FSRCD 623

These 1957sessions were the first Jimmy Smith did with horns after his recording debutthe previous year. With the calibre of the top-rank musicians involved Smith,the first to translate Birds innovations to the organ, altoist Donaldson, theblues-drenched Bird follower, and both Mobley and Byrd contributing somethoughtful blowing of their own on tenor and trumpet respectively - the overallresults were rewarding.

In therhythm section, McFaddens warm guitar offered another colour to theorgan-and-horns sound, and Blakey, as always, was a force of nature on drums inthis no-holds-barred meeting of modern minds.
