Is that one of his early works? I saw him with the recently departed Harold Mabern a few years ago.

His first recording date as a leader. He had been on a Charles Earland date, "Unforgettable", 8 months earlier.

I don´t know why I´m listening frequently to Jimmy Smith since last week. This two albums I like very much, it was the first Jimmy Smith I bought, many others followed.

I feel it's with Up, Over & Out, the year after Straight Up, that he really gets into it.

Now playing:

Ah, I supposed that because he looks so young.

This one (also in my collection) is seen very seldom. Probably a Fresh Sound reissue?

 

Today my focus on Mel Lewis

Some great Mel Lewis albums there.

I saw the Mel Lewis Orch at the Wigan Jazz Festival in 1989. Would that be on the same trip to Europe as the WDR album?
