I concur, jazz writer/critic Scott Yanow says he highly recommends this prolific out of the box groove because it’s tight but right from beginning to the end by soul jazz organist Jimmy Smith.
Jimmy Smith, Midnight
Jimmy Smith | Midnight Special [Soul Jazz/Blue Note/1960] Jazz Classic
Midnight Special is a perfect complement to Back at the Chicken Shack, which was recorded the same day. Organist Jimmy Smith, tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, and guitarist Kenny Burrell always make for a potent team, and with drummer Donald Bailey completing the group, the quartet digs soulfully into such numbers as the groovin’ “Midnight Special,” “Jumpin’ the Blues,” and “One O’Clock Jump.” Highly recommended. ~ Source: allmusic.com/Scott Yanow
