Review by Scott Yanow
Although still a regular Blue Note artist (he would make four more albums for the company within the next year), Bashin' was organist Jimmy Smith's debut for Verve, a label that he would record extensively for during 1963-1972. On the first half of the program (reissued in full on this CD), Smith was for the first time joined by a big band. Oliver Nelson provided the arrangements, trumpeter Joe Newman and altoist Phil Woods have a solo apiece, and "Walk on the Wild Side" became Smith's biggest hit up to that point. The final three numbers feature Smith's regular trio with guitarist Quentin Warren and drummer Donald Bailey swinging with soul as usual. The historical set (a bit of a turning point for Jimmy Smith's career) has its strong moments although it is not all that essential. Tracklist: 1. Walk on the Wild Side 2. Ol' Man River 3. In a Mellow Tone 4. Step Right Up 5. Beggar for the Blues 6. Bashin' 7. I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande) enjoy and share |
