Jazz
Jimmy Smith Organ
Wes Montgomery Guitar
Grady Tate Drums
Kenny Burrell Guitar
Oliver Nelson Arranger, Conductor
Smith's signature groove can be heard in today's acid jazzers: Brand New Heavies, Greyboy Allstars, Groove Collective, Incognito and US3, among others. When acid jazz plays homage to the master, it is the altar of the groove: Now you can hear the pure funk, right from the source-with some tracks on CD for the first time.
These fourteen tracks from the organist's golden Verve period, with solos by Kenny Burrell and Wes Montgomery, include the best studio musicians of the sixties in arrangements by Oliver Nelson, and Lalo Schifrin, among others.
