Jimmy Smith - Definitive

No amount of hype can exaggerate the impact that Jimmy Smith had on the burgeoning hard-pop movement when he recorded his first Blue Note records in 1956. In fact, he defined the soulful sound that the movement increasingly adopted in the later fifties. He also defined the modern organ-guitar-drums combo, giving it faster, bebop lines and did the same for slightly larger groups when he recorded with Lou Donaldson, Jackie McLean and Lee Morgan.
