Bright Moments Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 (edited) This set from 1963 has Smith with a pretty large group. It's a PARTY!!!! Inexplicably, AMG gives it 2.5 stars. AAAARRRGH!!!!! Ignore AMG and pick this one up. This is a great cd! B-) Edited August 14, 2004 by Bright Moments Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 Worth it for the cover alone... B-) Quote
Bright Moments Posted August 18, 2004 Author Report Posted August 18, 2004 it's timely to listen to this one now as a tribute to ray charles as jimmy plays What'd I Say, Ruby and Georgia on My Mind. B-) i myself dig the track "ape woman" Quote
mikeweil Posted August 21, 2004 Report Posted August 21, 2004 I found it a little disjointed - would have liked it much better if it was all big band or all quartet. The Ape Women has a different title on another Verve LP - sorry can't remember - who was the arranger/composer? Quote
DMP Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 "Ape Woman" is on a Cal Tjader "Verve," with a different title - I can check when I get home. That cut is the highlight of the Smith LP. Actually, I think 2 1/2 stars is about right for that mishmash. Quote
