Jimmy Smith - Home Cookin' - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

An album of soliloquies. After highly acclaimed music from the family band and orchestra, here is the great Argentinean bandoneon player Dino Saluzzi in his first purely solo project in decades. Recorded in Buenes Aires, it's a powerful reminder of his gifts as an intimate musical storyteller of great subtlety. Reaches back to early memories with InchDon CayeInch, a touching dedication to Dino's father. Reflects upon the fleeting passage of time, instrument and performer breathing as one. Album Tracks 1. Adiós Maestro Kancheli 2. Ausencias 3. Según Me Cuenta la Vida - Milonga 4. Íntimo 5. La Cruz Del Sur (2Da Cadencia) 6. Écuyère 7. Ficción 8. Don Caye - Variaciones Sobre Obra de Cayetano Saluzzi 9.

Jimmy Smith was one of the first musicians to use the Hammond organ in jazz and popular music, taking it up in 1951 and establishing a formidable reputation in Philadelphia, before coming to prominence with his 1956 appearances at New York's Café Bohemia., followed by dates and Birdland and the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival, cementing his place as the pioneer of the Hammond in jazz and R&B. After occasional recordings early in the '50s, he recorded regularly with his own trio from 1956, and this collection chronicles that first decade of his career as he effectively established a sub-genre within popular music, recording prolifically for Blue Note while touring regularly, becoming a favourite with club audiences, who enjoyed the crossover feel of his music, incorporating contemporary rhythm and blues styles with sophisticated bop influences, as he used the organ to create a group sound in what became a familiar trio line-up with guitar and drums. This great value 4-CD set, includes tracks from most of his significant sessions and albums along with some 'live' recordings, and it provides an excellent overview of both the best-known and perhaps less familiar work from the formative decade of a career that lasted half a century, and is a great introduction to one of the influential and innovative figures in jazz and R&B in the post-war era.
