Jimmy Smith at the Organ, Vol. 3

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Concluding the explosive trilogy of debut recordings that fundamentally reshaped the trajectory of modern jazz, the visionary organist solidifies his complete mastery over the Hammond B-3. Translating the rapid-fire, complex linear phrasing of Charlie Parker directly to the massive electronic instrument, the deeply swinging trio jams burn with an infectious, blues-drenched intensity. The sessions single-handedly birthed the soul-jazz organ trio format that would dominate urban clubs for decades.
