This album was OK. It wasn't bad, but I don't think I'll be putting it in constant rotation anytime soon.Jimmy Smith took a relatively un-hip instrument (the Hammond organ) and created a new genre of music (soul-jazz). I don't really have much to say about this album. I can see why it's on the list, I guess, considering that an entire genre of music was born out of it. I did enjoy the moodiness of the tenor saxophone performed here by Stanley Turrentine.
Favorite Tracks: "Back at the Chicken Shack" and "When I Grow Too Old to Dream"
