Jimmy Smith • The Sermon! [RVG edition]



Review by AllMusic
When Jimmy Smith exploded onto the jazz scene in 1956, he changed everything about the way the organ was used and perceived in jazz. His first two years of recording were mind-bogglingly prolific, producing 13 albums. Three marathon jam sessions during this period produced some of his finest early work, including The Sermon! Smith displays both a youthful fire and a musical wisdom beyond his years throughout the album. Whether blazing through hard bop tunes like "Confirmation" and "Au Privave" (both Charlie Parker compositions) or gently caressing the ballad "Lover Man," Smith constantly proves himself the most inventive organist of the bop generation. In moving beyond the classic organ trio format, Smith takes the organ into new areas, and trading solos with the likes of Lee Morgan and Lou Donaldson, he makes it plain that his is an individual voice worthy of its eventual place in the jazz canon. A special treat here is the tenor work of the great, underrated Tina Brooks.

Reseña de AllMusic
Cuando Jimmy Smith irrumpió en la escena del jazz en 1956, cambió todo sobre la forma en que se usaba y percibía el órgano en el jazz. Sus dos primeros años de grabación fueron alucinantemente prolíficos, produciendo 13 álbumes. ¡Tres maratónicas sesiones improvisadas durante este período produjeron algunos de sus mejores trabajos tempranos, incluido The Sermon! Smith muestra tanto un fuego juvenil como una sabiduría musical más allá de sus años a lo largo del álbum. Ya sea tocando melodías hard bop como "Confirmation" y "Au Privave" (ambas composiciones de Charlie Parker) o acariciando suavemente la balada "Lover Man", Smith demuestra constantemente que es el organista más inventivo de la generación bop. Al ir más allá del formato clásico de trío de órgano, Smith lleva el órgano a nuevas áreas, y intercambiando solos con personas como Lee Morgan y Lou Donaldson, deja en claro que la suya es una voz individual digna de su eventual lugar en el canon del jazz. Un regalo especial aquí es el trabajo de tenor de la gran y subestimada Tina Brooks.
