Jimmy Smith • Bluesmith

Review by Scott Yanow
It is ironic that one of Jimmy Smith's best Verve releases would be his next-to-last for the label. This surprisingly freewheeling but relaxed jam session also features Teddy Edwards on tenor, guitarist Ray Crawford, bassist Leroy Vinnegar, drummer Donald Dean, and the congas of Victor Pantoja. Together they perform five of Smith's fairly basic originals and Harvey Siders's "Mournin' Wes," a tribute for Wes Montgomery. Fine straight-ahead music. https://www.allmusic.com/album/bluesmith-mw0000774468

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Es irónico que uno de los mejores lanzamientos de Jimmy Smith para Verve sea el penúltimo para el sello. Esta sorprendentemente libre pero relajada jam session cuenta también con Teddy Edwards al tenor, el guitarrista Ray Crawford, el bajista Leroy Vinnegar, el batería Donald Dean, y las congas de Victor Pantoja. Juntos interpretan cinco de los temas originales de Smith, bastante básicos, y «Mournin' Wes», de Harvey Siders, un homenaje a Wes Montgomery. Buena música directa. https://www.allmusic.com/album/bluesmith-mw0000774468
