Jimmy Smith - Midnight Special , 1961 SACD Analogue Productions
Midnight Special is
part two of the same recording session that produced "Back to the
Chicken Shack" album. Of course the line up is the same with Donald
Bailey (drums), Kenny Burrell (Guitars), Stanley Turrentine (sax) and of
course tonights draw Jimmy Smith on the organ.
Musically this
album is a very gentle get groovy album perfect for those warm moonlight
lights when you just want to chill. The music is bluesy, jazzy and
funky with a great mix of guitar, organ, sax and drums.
Once again
Analogue Productions has done a splendid job on the SACD mastering by
the usual suspects Gray and Hoffman. This music deserves to be turned up
to a good volume level so that you will hear the true character and
speaker separation that this SACD offers. The tone quality is hugely
impressive and nothing has been missed here.
