Jimmy Smith • Softly As A Summer Breeze


 Though virtuoso organist Smith is known primarily as a practitioner of bluesy, groove-oriented tune, this 1958 date remains true to its title, exploring a more relaxed ballad feel on standards like "These Foolish Things," "It Could Happen To You" and "Someone To Watch Over Me." Smith's airy chordal work and breezy solos mesh perfectly with guitarist Kenny Burrell's elegant melodic trills. Philly Joe Jones' subtle, tasty brush work provides the necessary motion, and when things rev up, as on the Monk composition "Hackensack," Jones is the driving force behind Smith's explorations. Four tunes featuring singer Bill Henderson are added to this reissue, sweetening the pot for Smith fans.

Aunque el virtuoso organista Smith es conocido principalmente como un practicante del blues y la melodía orientada al groove, esta fecha de 1958 se mantiene fiel a su título, explorando un sentimiento de balada más relajado en estándares como "These Foolish Things", "It Could Happen To You" y "Someone To Watch Over Me". El aireado trabajo de acordes de Smith y los solos de viento encajan perfectamente con los elegantes trinos melódicos del guitarrista Kenny Burrell. El sutil y sabroso trabajo de brocha de Philly Joe Jones proporciona el movimiento necesario, y cuando las cosas se aceleran, como en la composición de Monk "Hackensack", Jones es la fuerza motriz de las exploraciones de Smith. En esta reedición se añaden cuatro temas en los que participa el cantante Bill Henderson, lo que endulza la situación para los fans de Smith.
