Jimmy Smith At Club "Baby Grand", Wilmington, Delaware Volumes 1 & 2 DMM 180g Import 2LP (Vinyl)

The Incredible Jimmy Smith On 180g Vinyl Double LP!

At Club Baby Grand is a live album by American jazz organist Jimmy Smith featuring performances recorded at Club Baby Grand in Wilmington, Delaware in 1956 and originally released in 2 volumes. This is the organist at his raw, jawdropping best. You really do get the feeling of what those original jazz fans and curiosity seekers must have felt when first going to a Jimmy Smith show -- the Charlie Parker of the organ. Also make no mistake, this is the Jimmy Smith show, and guitarist Thornel Schwartz and drummer Donald Bailey are simply along for the ride. Smith is bursting out with amazing rapid runs on the B-3, filling the air from one end of the room to the other as only he could.

"It's all Jimmy Smith in full flight, bubbling over with cascading notes and breathless detours, and if his studio work is generally more structured and considered (but only a little more so), this set shows him in what was his natural habitat, astounding an audience in a small club. Bailey keeps up with things and Schwartz gets a word in now and then, but this is Smith's show all the way." - AllMusic
