Matthew Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Posted October 9, 2003 Thanks Shrdlu. That clears things up nicely. Quote
brownie Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 4. Smith Walk 5. Lonesome Road (Austin/Shilkret) were recorded June 13, 1960, the only pieces recorded on that date. In the US they were included as bonus tracks of Prayer Meetin', which otherwise has the February 8, 1963 session. The Tom Lord discography also lists an unissued 'Organic Greenery' track as a thurd side from that session (Stanley Turrentine, Quentin Warren, Donald Bailey). Sam Jones who was on bass on the two other sides was out on that one. Quote
Free For All Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Just to listen to the cds of Incredible Jimmy Smith at Club Baby Grand is an amazing experience I'd like to do just that. Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but are these available? I noticed at CDUniverse they've been on backorder for a loooooooong time. I need to get this set. Give me yours please. Quote
Shrdlu Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 The "Baby Grand" albums are only on Japanese CDs, to the best of my knowledge. "Organic Greenery" is on the "I'm Movin' On" CD, which I have. It is not from the Turrentine sessions. It is from that 1963 session with Grant Green. It should be pointed out that the "Special Guests" LP was a compilation. Quote

The Lord says there was an unissued 'Organic Greenery' recorded at the June 13, 1960 session. So does the Ruppli-Cuscuna BN Label discography which lists the tune as rejected. The tune was redone at the Smith-Green-Bailey trio January 1963 session. Edited October 10, 2003 by brownie Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 On a side note, check out how they describe the "tones" of Jimmy Smith on the AMG page: Rollicking, Laid-Back/Mellow, Earthy, Restrained, Summery SUMMERY?!?! What the hell? Quote

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but are these available? I noticed at CDUniverse they've been on backorder for a loooooooong time. I need to get this set. Give me yours please. Hi Free For All, I actually have an extra copy of Jimmy Smith "At Club Baby Grand, Vol. 2" which I'd like to trade or sell. It is the Japanese TOCJ-1529 released a few years ago. It's open, but in mint condition (even has the OBI). It's a great CD, with the tunes "Caravan", "Love is a Many Splendored Thing", "Get Happy", and "It's Allright With Me"... all extended jams, and some good playing by all concerned. Send me a PM and let me know if you want to work a trade for this CD! Cheers, Shane Quote

You might have better luck with Tower Records, I know there are some in-store, if not on-line. I just saw, I think, both vol. 1 & 2 in the Sunset Tower this morning. At least one of 'em. Boy, I'm getting old, can't even remember what I saw just five hours ago! Quote
Noj Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Since I only have BACK AT THE CHICKEN SHACK and ROOT DOWN, looks like I can just print this thread for the Jimmy Smith albums to buy after I get THE SERMON. Thanks guys! Quote

I was just trying to help. The title sure suggests that it is from a Green session with organ. Why would they record a track with that name on a date without Grant Green? I suggest that the discography made a boo boo. Quote
JohnS Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 I used to have a vinyl edition of "Special Guests". It was a compilation of tracks which didn't make it to the original albums. I sold mine a while back as everything is now available on cd. John, do you remember the track order and where Organic Greenery fits in? Or somebody else? I would be grateful for info on this. This must have been an obscure album, and it seems difficult to come by any additional information about it. Sorry Swinging Swede, it was a while ago. But the Japanese lp was certainly redundant.
