Jimmy Smith • Rockin' the Boat

Rockin' The Boat was one of organist Jimmy Smith's final sessions for Blue Note. Recorded in 1963, it featured Smith's regular band at the time, Quentin Warren on guitar and Donald Bailey on drums, augmented by the soulful Lou Donaldson on alto sax and John Patten on tambourine. Smith recorded many albums for Blue Note, all of them good, some of them great. Rockin' The Boat falls in the former category, as some of the songs are calypso ("Matilda, Matilda!") and spiritual ("Just A Closer Walk With Thee"). These numbers have a different pacing and beat than the down and dirty blues-based ones Smith excelled at. In addition, Smith and Donaldson, who were frequent collaborators, usually generated considerable heat when playing in the hard bop/soul jazz genre as witnessed by the tunes "Pork Chop" and "Please Send Me Someone To Love."

The sound quality of this CD is outstanding. It's another of Blue Note's Rudy Van Gelder releases using 24-bit resolution. While not earth shattering (try Back At The Chicken Shack, The Sermon, or Open House/Plain Talk), Rockin' The Boat is worth rediscovering. A good effort by Jimmy Smith is impressive by other artist's standards. It's wonderful music, one of those CDs that improves with each play. Listen and enjoy.

Rockin 'The Boat fue una de las sesiones finales del organista Jimmy Smith para Blue Note. Grabado en 1963, contó con la banda regular de Smith en ese momento, Quentin Warren en la guitarra y Donald Bailey en la batería, aumentada por el apasionado Lou Donaldson en el saxo alto y John Patten en la pandereta. Smith grabó muchos álbumes para Blue Note, todos ellos buenos, algunos de ellos geniales. Rockin 'The Boat cae en la categoría anterior, ya que algunas de las canciones son calypso ("Matilda, Matilda!") Y espirituales ("Just A Closer Walk With The"). Estos números tienen un ritmo y ritmo diferentes a los de Smith, basados ​​en blues sucios y sucios. Además, Smith y Donaldson, que eran colaboradores frecuentes, generalmente generaban mucho calor cuando tocaban en el género del hard bop / soul jazz como lo demuestran las melodías "Pork Chop" y "Please Send Me Someone To Love".

La calidad de sonido de este CD es excepcional. Es otro de los lanzamientos de Rudy Van Gelder de Blue Note con una resolución de 24 bits. Si bien no se rompe la tierra (intente Back At The Chicken Shack, The Sermon, Open House / Plain Talk), vale la pena volver a descubrir Rockin 'The Boat. Un buen esfuerzo de Jimmy Smith es impresionante para los estándares de otros artistas. Es una música maravillosa, uno de esos CDs que mejora con cada juego. Escucha y disfruta.
