Jimmy Smith • Crazy! Baby

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This excellent LP features Jimmy Smith's working group of the period, a trio with guitarist Quentin Warren and drummer Donald Bailey. The organist's version of the opening number, "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," was a hit, and just as memorable are Smith's renditions of "Makin' Whoopee," "Sonnymoon for Two," and "Mack the Knife." A fine example of Smith's talents.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este excelente LP presenta al grupo de trabajo de Jimmy Smith de la época, un trío con el guitarrista Quentin Warren y el batería Donald Bailey. La versión del organista del número de apertura, «When Johnny Comes Marching Home», fue un éxito, e igual de memorables son las interpretaciones de Smith de «Makin' Whoopee», «Sonnymoon for Two» y «Mack the Knife». Un buen ejemplo del talento de Smith.
