Jimmy Smith • Keep On Comin'

Review by Scott Yanow

Organist Jimmy Smith's second of two LPs for the Elektra Musician label is unusual in a couple of respects. He had never played organ with tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin before and on one piece, "Piano Solo Medley," Smith has a very rare feature on piano. Otherwise, Keep on Comin' is in the soulfully swinging vein that one associates with the great organist, with the music comprised of recent originals by Smith, Griffin, and guitarist Kenny Burrell, who with drummer Mike Baker completes the quartet.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

El segundo de los dos LP del organista Jimmy Smith para el sello Elektra Musician es inusual en un par de aspectos. Nunca había tocado el órgano con el saxofonista tenor Johnny Griffin antes y en una pieza, "Piano Solo Medley", Smith tiene una característica muy rara en el piano. Por lo demás, "Keep on Comin" está en la vena conmovedora que uno asocia con el gran organista, con la música compuesta por los recientes originales de Smith, Griffin, y el guitarrista Kenny Burrell, que con el baterista Mike Baker completa el cuarteto.
