Jimmy Smith – Softly As A Summer Breeze (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition) [180G LP]

Description

The last week of February in 1958 was a productive one for Jimmy Smith. Over two days the incredible Hammond B3 organist set up shop in Manhattan Towers studio and recorded three albums worth of material: House PartyThe Sermon, and Softly As A Summer Breeze, the last of which wouldn’t be released until 1965. The album featured Smith in two different trios: four tracks with Kenny Burrell on guitar and Philly Joe Jones drums, as well as two tracks with Eddie McFadden on guitar and Donald Bailey on drums. The swinging set includes standards (“These Foolish Things” “It Could Happen To You” “Sometimes I’m Happy” “Someone To Watch Over Me”) as well as the Thelonious Monk tune “Hackensack” and Smith’s original “One For Philly Joe.”

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.

Experience the smooth sounds of Jimmy Smith with 'Softly As A Summer Breeze,' a classic jazz album reissued on high-quality 180G vinyl. This Blue Note edition captures the essence of Smith's signature style, making it a must-have for any jazz enthusiast.
