Eight Classic.. -Digi-

Very good value for money. While I am not a fan of organ music, this certainly provides a variety of swinging organ sounds from t1957 to 1960. The eight albums are Jimmy Smith at the Organ Volume 1 (1957) with Lou Donaldson and Kenny Burrell, Jimmy Smith Plays Pretty Just For You (1957) with Eddie McFadden (guitar), Jimmy Smith At The Organ Volume 2 (1957) with Donaldson & Burrell again, Midnight Special (1961) with Stanley Turrentine & Burrell, Softly As A Summer Breeze (1960) with McFadden & Burrell sharing the guitar roles, The Sermon (1958) with Lee Morgan, Donaldson, George Coleman, Tina Brooks, Crazy Baby (1960) with Quentin Warren (guitar), Home Cookin' (1960) with Burrell & on some tracks Percy France (tenor sax).. The tracks tend to be extended with the maximum of 20 minutes for The Sermon itself.,

Bought as a Xmas present for father in law, amazing value and quality, would defo buy again. Would recommend to friends and family.

A good compilation of late 50s early 60s cool organ jazz that sadly seems to have gone out of fashion

To my mind Smith is overrated. These albums give a fair impression of his talent. On CD they represent superb value. On MP3 the price is a joke - almost double. That takes some explaining

Product as described, good price, quick delivery. Recommended seller and product.
