Back At The Chicken Shack

Jazzy, I dig it

Jimmy Smith is a legend.

Did not

nice, especially good: when i grow too old to dream on the sunny side of the street

Getting FNV vibes this shit fucking slaps

Classic jazz blues album

Vibed out the whole morning!

Loved this album

This was soooo good 🫶

You can hear the influence on modern jazz/prog/jam bands in this album. I accidentally moved on to the "Root Down" live album after this album and I think I like that one even better.

This album was dope. File under “should have listened to by now.” I like that this list doesn’t shy away from jazz. In my opinion there could be a separate list of only jazz albums. Goes right alongside my love of Booker T. and Delvon Lamarr - which I am listening to right now since this album has put me in the mood.

Nice!

fabulous. Jimmy on the keys makes everybody happy.

Hammond joy! Influential and worthy of a high rank in the 1001. You will know these tracks if you have been around music a lot. I thought I would not know one, but I knew and enjoyed them all.

This was a nice easy listen I enjoyed it. Bluesy jazzy. Daughter enjoyed it as well.

Groovy

Fantastic jazz; great use of a B3. Been a Jimmy Smith fan since I was a straight ahead DJ years ago.

Stellar album. Jimmy's talent is apparent and produces a warm and calming sound. Easy to listen to but interesting. Super approachable jazz without being milquetoast.

Sgoood

This was perfect for a Monday Morning. The chill jazz was amazing! So easy to relax to. I liked the organ in particular, so jazzy with its tone and playing. The tracks, while long, are perfect instrumental tracks. The amazing playing and vibes from here carry the project. This is really good! I could recommend this to somebody, cool!

I was really not sure what to expect when I saw the album cover. I definitely did not expect a wonderful jazzy afternoon. Lovely stuff.

Really enjoyed this. I would never have known about Jimmy Smith. This is why I like this project.

best recommendation! thanks for the jazz

Loving the groove. Must have inspired Allman Bros, Sly…maybe not but jus’ sayin’

I listened to it two other three times.

Smooth!!

Did not know what to expect and was pleasently surprised

Loves

Funky. What a vibe.

I love that fat Hammond organ sound.

Loved this one so much!! Bought it on ITunes!!

This is definitely some jazz. I recognize the importance of this album, and it's really easy to listen to. It makes me think of sitting in a dark club, smoke swirling, a drink on the table, chatting with someone at my table. It's also not music I'd reach for on the regular, so I guess it's good it was my first album to listen to in this project.

Everything i always want to hear

Mind bending

The Hammond Organ in Jazz can be difficult to execute. Jimmy Smith comes along with not only expert chops at the Hammond, but brings along his band that shine on sax, guitar, and drums. 5/5

Fantastic! Never heard of Jimmy Smith and loved it.

Beautiful album. Stylish.

Loved it!

Smooth as hell combo of standards, blues bop, and straight soul. Hella low key dinner hang music, adjacent to Montgomery, Christian or Bird.

Relaxing jazz/soul vibes; very mellow album.

Enjoyed this album so much. It made me miss my Dad tremendously. He was a huge Jazz fan. I wish he were here so I could discuss the album with him.

Classic

Great

Loved it! Totally new to me.

Nothing groundbreaking, but some good Jazz standards. You can't go wrong with anything that comes out of Blue Note.

So wonderful - love jazz from this era. Funny enough reminds me of Hey Arnold. 9/10.

Great album, I have listened to this several times since it was the album of the day.

Looooved it, going to remember it for when I want to listen to some nice retro Jazz! <3

Might be a 4, but I’m going with a 5. Very basic, but it makes the album more accessible and easy to listen to. A lot of jazz gets stressful, but this has soul elements that make this very soothing. Almost like hold music but in good way

December 8, 2023 Great, smooth

A lot of fun. Perfect to help me stay energized and focused throughout my day.

This is just classic jamin jazz. Every bit of it fits perfectly together and just works. Great for listening or just background music. Scale: 5 - My absolute favorites. 4 - Albums I like. 3 - It was ok to listen to but I wouldn't seek it out. 2 - Didn't like. 1 - Absolute shit.

Love me some Jimmy Smith!!

Fantastic jazz

I'll be playing this one often!

Good solid jazz set.

Very cool

I didn’t know I love organ jazz but I do.

Very nice jazz. Easy listen. Very lounge friendly. Random, but it actually reminds me a lot of a computer game I used to play a lot as a kid, Beetle Crazy Cup, which had a soundtrack just like this.

Jazz da mais alta qualidade

Super chill jazz!

I started back at the chicken shack and was amused all the way to the sunny side of the street. Then went back to the chicken shack and found myself smiling, while I hate chickens. Amazing, jazzy, bluesy music. I can listen to this all day long!

No clue how it could be any better. It's got smooth groove, easy to listen to and enjoy. Definitely a very approachable jazz... that makes you just feel cooler by listening to it. Could definitely have this on repeat.

Jazzy, funky, glorious.

Grandfather of jazz organ. Very cool!

Back At The Chicken Shack On The Sunny Side Of The Street

Love love

Fucking fantastic. Reminds me of being crammed in at Green Lady Lounge, a Sazerac in hand, band sweating it out a few feet away. Lovely.

Jazz is always influential!

groovy af diddly diddly

Very good. Definitely influenced modern sounds you hear in todays music of similar genre. 9/10

Fantastic jazz album. The sax, keys, and guitar solos stood out to me especially. Rhythm section doesn’t miss. Messy Bessie was my favorite.

Good music for relaxing

Really smooth, really chill. Good to listen to in the car. Good to listen to when entertaining guests. Just good.

Nice jazz

Awesome jazz album.

I ♥️ Hammond organ. Cut from the same joyous cloth as 'Green Onions' by Booker T. & the MG's. Take me to that Chicken Shack - This is my kind of jazz! Rating: 4.5/5 Playlist track: Back at the Chicken Shack Date listened: 04/10/23

ya like jazz?

Love that funky organ

Incredible jazz album!

I enjoyed this. Probably add this to my workday rotation.

Loved every moment of this.

On repeat for the rest of my life. This is art.

The bluesiest organ music of all time, love it. Jimmy Smith always eats I don't think I've heard a single song of his that didn't go hard. I'm a sucker for an organ though, if an organ is present in a song I turn up regardless.

Excellent 4.5/5. Half a point lost as not long enough.

Fun Album, lots of elements that would absolutely get used in later music, especially rock

Very nice, not enough jazz on this list.

So good. !!!

So easy... so mellow... so good. I used to watch LA Law all the time growing up, but Victor Sifuentes was never my favorite attorney. It's so rare that actors are good musicians too. Regardless, I wasn't expecting this album to be so awesome.

Though I've never been a Hammond organ fan, I appreciate that Jimmy Smith was a pioneer and one of the founders of the Soul Jazz movement, which - though poo-pooed by jazz aficionados - really had legs and influenced a lot of artists in the 90s. IMO Stanley Turrentine is the star of this LP with his warm and happy tenor solos especially on tracks like "Minor Chant" where he's more front and center. He was another artist who was poo-pooed by more serious jazz fans, but that didn't stop him from recording 60+ albums. To counter all the poo-poo, I will round up.

Love it

Great Hammond B3 tones.

There aren’t many reasons to be a proud American these days, but god dammit, I’m proud to live in the country that offered jazz, and by extension, Jimmy Smith to the world. Listening to a record like this makes you, I don’t know, live?? I feel alive when I hear a group of players who just FELT the music. And to have it all on tape is a gift. Take me back to the chicken shack.

This album is wonderful. I found myself tapping my foot and swaying my head through the whole thing.

Soul jazz. King of the Hammond organ. That’s not a bass it’s Smith’s left hand. Turrentine on tenor sax, Burrell on guitar, Bailey on drums.

Really good, really chill and just what I needed for the day

Love it. Great jazz album.

Oh yeah! Not at all what I was expecting. I could grove to these organ licks all day.

приятный джазец

Great easy listening.

This is just excellent. Just love the Hammond organ on this. Got to be one of my favourite jazz albums of all time. A Blue note classic

Bluuuuuuuuues! 😍 What a groovy album. I'd love to jam with these folks

A really nice album and, again, something I am not used to listen but a great surprise! I loved recognizing the first song

I didn't know I had a kind of chicken shack but I do and this is it, this is my kind of chicken shack.

This is just perfect. Listen to it. Love it.

yeah man yeah this is some really great jazz that i hadn't been interoduced to before. jimmy smith is one of jazz's many classic musicians, but i wasn't acquainted with him or his work. i am now, and he will now be in my rotation! i love the smooth organ tone on a lot of these tracks!!!

Life is good at the chicken shack. Everything feels right at the chicken shack. Chicken shack, how ever did you make a Hammond Organ sound fun soulful and happy from the first few bars of the album it had me. (But being on the Blue Note Label was a clue to the high bar it would have met to even exist. Note to self, explore more blue note back catalogue - a seam of gold) Mmm mmm mmmmm! Love it.... Gorgeous!

I will fight anyone that's not a 5 for Jimmy

Jazzy! I liked it.

The organ really is something, isn't it?

Klo mau menerapkan “Rule of Thumb”, album keluaran Blue Note sdh tidak perlu diragukan lagi dikarenakan circle label nya yg ud melegenda. Jimmy Smith di belakang organ mampu memberikan groove yg catchy utk smua lagu, Walaupun dirasa peran Smith lebih terdengar seperti support utk sinSaxophonist Stanley Turrentine.

Добротный джазз для души с замечательным и изобретательным инструменталом. (8.5)

Loving the vibe. Great for working.

feels like it inspired pokemon xd soundtrack

A perfect album.

If it was Jimmy Smith, it was GOLD. I had the extreme pleasure of seeing the jazz master at the Hammond Organ on two occasions in the late 1970's. This precious disc dates back to 1960 and features Kenny Burrell on guitar and a very young Stanley Turrentine on the tenor sax sharing the soloing. (And with Jimmy, no bass player was needed, of course.) This and Jimmy was funkifizing before we were talking FUNK.

Amazing, really enjoyable, nothing I didn't like

Excellent

Really fun, very smooth and likable. A definitive and influential use of the Hammond B-3, easy to understand why it became a standard with people like Jimmy Smith doing this kind of work on it.

Nice smooth Jazz. Enjoyed it.

Amazing laid back jazz album. Easy to listen to attentively as well as as background music.

Good Jazz.

Wow what an album, what a session, what a band; Stanley Turrentine on sax, Kenny Burrell on guitar and Donald Bailey on Drums. Turrentine is the star of this session and the songs that he lets loose on are absolutely great. Didn't realize I was such a fan of the organ. Really pleasant discovery. 5 stars

Can you dig it? I knew that you could!

Smooth and easy. A nice massage for my addled brain.

I keep thinking I’m new to jazz, but then while listening to this realized that growing up on Pink Panther cartoons gave me a pretty extensive introduction to this style of jazz. The organ grooves along and the sax wails away and I’m swept up by it all. I may not be the best connoisseur of jazz, but I really love this!

Oh so bluesy, groovy, jazzy and 60s. Guest Stanley Turrentine is a big plus. Organ jazz at its finest.

Loved this, gotta find the record now

10/10 - groovy as fuck

Gran álbum, no lo conocía, fue un descubrimiento, el sonido del órgano es cálido y suena tan familiar, es grato asociarlo a un rostro.

What a great album! The organ gives it an extra R&B layer that works really well

very chill music i like this

I loved it! Great soundtrack to work or practically anything.

Smoooooooth

Jazzzzz

absolutely exquisite control of the Hammond

idk yet

I often find jazz music too chaotic and kind of impersonal, but this album is beautiful. It is not too technical while still being interesting. I feel like this music is connected to the real world instead of just existing for its own sake.

When I saw the cover of this one something told me I was going to love it. Smooooooooooth, wonderful bluesy organ. Love Love Love!

I never thought I'd give a jazz album five stars. But all of a sudden I have a really pressing need to work out the guitar parts. I ended up playing this twice. That says a fair bit haha. 5/5.

Amazing, soulful, music. Those keyboards are awesome.

I love it.. Jazz meets hammond B-3 organ and we have Soul-jazz. Some really great jams on this.

Awesome stuff. Very enjoyable.

I'm not a big fan of the organ sound in jazz or in style other music genre for that matter, so for me the star of this album is the blowing which thanks to Stanley Turrentine is just amazing. The rest of theband are not exactly slouches; Kenny Burrell and Donald Bailey. But for me Turrentine steals the show and makes this album a 5 🌟 effort

Paring this back to back with Isaac Hayes' "Hot Buttered Soul" was a perfectly smooth 1-2 punch. What goes perfectly with chicken shack? Hot butter! I mean come on. This album was great and perfect and I married it.

5.0 - Cool and breezy as a June morning on the beach. Incomparable jazz organ. I could listen to this whenever, wherever.

Love that jazz

Really enjoyable-- dig this

Excellent. I loved it. Got better with each play.

Beautiful, soulful, jazz.

new find for me - loved it

Great Airplane Crash Music. I'd Die Listening To It

Ya conocía "Sunny Side of the Street". Me gustó mucho todo el álbum, pero creo que aún no sé escuchar jazz. Me da vibras de escena de peli de Mauricio Garcés. ^.^' PD: Ocupo escucharlo en flac.

Basically the Organ inventor, real legend !

Lovely jazz, less showy than Miles Davis.

Very easy listening and made a day in and out of the car super enjoyable. Man knows how to make a sax sing.

The chops on this

Соул джаз 60-тых. Некоторые треки были знакомы. Этот альбом менч приятно удиаил и порадовал 8.5/10

holy cow, what an album...

Cowboy bebop

Excellent taste

Definitely not what I expected from the title! This was a very nice Jazz album. It makes you feel cozy and happy, like spending a winter day reading by the fire.

For a while, I had a CD copy of "Bashin'" by Jimmy Smith in my car, and I played that album a lot! I love this style of soul jazz, with meaty melodic lines of hard bop, and that electric Hammond organ taking it to church. Hail Satan, this guy is cool. I already had the Chicken Shack album downloaded, but I guess I wasn't ready to move beyond Bashin' until now. Objectively speaking, this album is the stronger and more consistent of the two. I can't find any moment on the album that doesn't make my brain happy, so 5*.

Brilliant

Brilliant!

A nice short 5 track 45min album... I love blues music. The radio of this one is going to be great, I can already tell.

Phenomenal. How did I never hear this? Norristown PA

Classic! And such an original, unique sound

Big fan sofar. Really enjoyed the album, maybe I was just in the mood for Jazz?

Solid album. I liked every single song. I'm very much into jazz and blues, so this album was a thumbs up for me.

Loved it! Kenny Burrell is one of my favorite guitarists of all time, very much an inspiration to me, and this whole album is fantastic.

bluesy, jazzy, lots of organ. i loved this album!

Loved it!

Classic jazz album - perfect for a coffee house vibe on a damp, misty morning.

Perfect retro jazz

awesome album. love jazz

So good. His organ skills are soooo nice

i'd never heard of mr jimmy or this album before - i'm super glad it's on this list, though. what a fantastic album. smooth & hoppin', all at once!

I really enjoyed this album and already have begun digging into his catalog!

JAZZ

Amazing

When you consider all of the crappy rap/hip-hop and electronica recommendations, jazz is grossly underrepresented on this list. It was a pleasant surprise to finally get another one. While I probably wouldn't have made this choice, it was still a good album and a nice listen.

yea it's been way too long since i've listened to this sort of more 'typical' jazz. it's nothing too out of the ordinary for the genre in terms of surprises, but it's definitely a very solid listen.

That was pretty good, but I have to say I like my jazz a bit more punchy. Hard bop is characterized by this slower tempo, and its blues influences that give it a distinctly rhythmic vibe. It's very relaxing, and the talent is definitely there, but while this is perfect music for a dark and moody jazz club in a basement, the predictability of the music can get a bit boring. A faster tempo would definitely improve the oomph factor.

Джаз для мене. Вдала спроба поєднувати з соулом через використання органу. Дуже сподобався саксофон. Ніколи не чув альбомів Stanley Turrentine. Планую тепер послухати

Really nice organ sound. The groove is the best part. Could happily have this on.

Okay, Jimmy Smith! I see you! Very jazzy and groovy. I'll be saving this one away for special occasions. 8/10

Solid jazz album. Easy listening. Enjoyed it.

En skiva med Hammondorgel? Inte illa. Souljazz? 3,5 av 5.

Why do I feel the need to host more dinner parties... Unexpected and enjoyable 5 track album outside of my usual wheelhouse.

7.7

excellent 4.5/5

Excellent low-key grooves. Probably not something I'd listen to often though, except in the background.

It’s kinda amazing to me how enjoyable this album is. It’s definitely a move through your day kind of album. Perhaps not the most “revolutionary,” but some times an easy going listen is just the ticket. 4 Boolean: True

Cool

No idea what I was getting into from the album cover. Those chickens had it good.

This was fantastic! Over far too quickly!

#244/1001 🇺🇸 Really enjoyed this record, I went in a little apprehensive not knowing the artist but from the first note i was hooked. Wonderful hammond organ and saxaphone making this a warm laid back listen, perfect for cooking this evening's dinner to. Best Track: Back at the Chicken Shack.

Loved this-smooth and authentic

You like jazz sir: Err yeah. You like blues sir: Hell yeah. Then try this for size sir: Mind blown. 4*

Behagelig jazz

good jazz

I haven't ever heard of this artist, but he is at the root of a lot of stuff I like. It's cool when you get to trace the lineage back to the originator. Green Onions and the Johnny Lewis Quartet's Chitlins con Carne are the two that come right to the top of mind when I think of who was likely influenced. This is good stuff. I can definitely foresee this setting the mood on the back patio or by the fire in the winter. Adding to my collection ⭐⭐⭐⭐.49

Back at the Chicken Shack is a fantastic album but I'm finding it hard not to review it as something else: all Hammond B3 players, which of course includes The Incredible Jimmy Smith. If that was the case then it's 5 stars all the way, especially when you have a a dog on your record sleeve. But the job here, as I see it, is to rate this group of songs so 4 it is.

I loved this so much. For one thing, it’s just beautiful, intricate yet accessible, and so enjoyable to the ear. For another thing, I love Booker T and the MGs, and this is one of those musical experiences where you discover the bedrock upon which the artists you love built. I immediately caught the Booker T similarity, but it’s actually the opposite — Jimmy Smith wrote the book, Booker T just read it. Learning where the music you love comes from is my favorite experience with music. This was one of those. It brings a childish excitement and wonder and “aha!” that I wish I could bottle up. So cool, and so vibe. Super high marks, just shy of a five. I get everyone doesnt dig jazz or elevator music, but I love elevator music. This is one that I’ll revisit many times, and a class of artists I’m eager to learn about. 4.9

Gorgeous. Fantastic musicianship. Just a joy to have on while I was working. I’m not the world’s biggest fan of the electric organ, but for the most part it fits really well here with the other instruments. And I know I’m always saying it, but I love the saxophone. Fav song: Back At The Chicken Shack Least fav: Minor Chant

pretty enjoyable jazz. Was able to listen to it quite happily. Would be delighted if this was my elevator music forever. Specific rating - 4.2 Fav song - minor chant Least fav- on the sunny side of the street

Really nice sunny day album, lovely happy chill music. I did find that I would tune out by the end of the song but honestly even that was quite nice. (You don’t often get saxophone nice enough that you can tune it out) Favourite song: Messy Bessie Least: Minor Chant

Jimmy Smith is a good jazz artist

Really enjoyed this one

Yeah I like this. Reminds of a game I played when I was younger called Bad company. Great stuff. Better as background music I reckon personally.

When I saw the title and cover of the album I wasn’t expecting for it to sound like this. It was a very pleasant, chill, laid back jazzy album. It’s a good one to put on in the background not just when you’re in the kitchen but also just to do regular chores around the house. 4/5.

Looking at the name alone, I was expecting this to be a dud. But then I was quickly whisked away into a jazz-y, playful little universe. Each song had a different pace and attitude to me. A story was being told without words - how good jazz is meant to be! Favorite Tracks: Back at The Chicken Shack Minor Chant Messy Bessie

super verrassing. Lekkere Jazz

💘

i love this chicken shack

Nice jazz album, really likely the sax playing

Nice easy listening, funky and groovy. A new kind of Jazz I haven't listened to before.

Excellent album, it makes me want to just sit back and relax.

I’d go back to the chicken shack

Some nice, chill, vibe-y jazz. I dig it!

I like it!

Great jazz album. Loved the organ.

The organ and saxophone combo was awesome.

Groovy. Booker T vibes

not as good as Joni Mitchell’s Blue

Geggjað albúm. Alvöru tónar. Kom skemmtilega á óvart. Datt síðan í sýrujazz út vinnudaginn.

An enjoyable reminder to put "listen to more Jazz" on my to do list. I don't know why, but listening to this album makes me want to be more musically sophisticated. I need to get some new friends that can help me explain why I like this so much.

track 1 back at the chicken shack - is that piano sounding thing an organ????? feels light and airy, and wow I LOVE saxophone if thats what that is, the drums in there soooo smooth, feels like the instrumentals are taking a stroll in the sun with an ice cream cone and a dog running alongside, ohhh DAMNNNNN every time that sax comes in im levitating like wow, unlike monk I feel like im being captivated thru the entire piece, I think the choppiness of monk had me slipping away sometimes, this is so smooth it grabs you by the hand and drags you along, also that bass line is interesting track 2 when I grow too old to dream - feels almost reminiscent, so good I had to smoke a little weed to perfect the ambiance, wow that sax is beautiful, I used to play tenor sax and this is amazing, definitely will be playing this for my mom, could also see myself studying while listening to this, or drinking some wine, just so groovy, feels like looking back on your life integrity vs despair Erickson!!!!! #psych track 3 minor chant - lot more drums in here, loving it, this album is beautiful track 4 messy bessie -

Saxy as all get out. Super chill vibey jazz, you can just put this one on repeat and relax.

So relaxing

*Jams in intellectual dinner party*

Behageligt jazz-album med lidt 70'er-hammond

Мабуть соул) Ні це був джаз, то краще)

Some nice jazz, don't know if it's essential jazz. But very nice still.

I think I've heard this one before but not sure when. Really enjoyable and lesser known.

Notas limpias, que jazz más excelso Mago del órgano, pero además de eso lo acompañan excelentes músicos en vientos y percusión, todo ello hace que el resultado sea este viaje al gallinero Es una sólida obra que permite dar definición al concepto de Jazz Clásico Escucharlo por completo en una sola ocasión se hace muy llevadero Bastante recomendado y reescuchable

Groovy organ

Hold music on the hotline to heaven. Mellifluous, meditative excellence.

The second time where I've never heard of an album I got from the generator, and like the last time, this was a ton of fun. I honestly haven't heard many jazz albums with organ in them, and it was a really cool surprise for me to hear it! Even though it's all instrumental, there's a really nice propulsive energy to it that makes it so that you're never really bored, and it has a really nice soulful edge to it. Really cool album, I'll have to check some more Jimmy Smith out!

typpa music u listen to while it's raining and you on da train

Very good album, it was a good surprise, flow is immaculate and vibes are incredible. Musicality is awesome and can't wait to listen to it again.

Funky organ.

Nice and chill, love the organ and the saxophone is great. Very nice easy listening jazz that probably appeals to a wider audience (me), but might not be enough for hardcore fans.

I really liked this . Differemt to what i had heard so far

3.5

Jazz that you can actually groove to. So much "great" jazz is more like "Listen to how all these noisemakers make noise in unison! And then riff of each other's noise! It's the best music evar!!!1!!11" This is actually quite fantastic to have on in the background.

RATING: 8/10 HIGHLIGHT: Minor Chant LOWLIGHT: When I Grow Too Old to Dream

Really enjoyed this. A great, chill jazz record. The band plays very well together. 4/5 Will listen again

Tasteful jazz lines

Lovely chill album

A jazzy delight

Finger lickin'

great ambiance album. jazzy notes convinced me

Solid album, really enjoyed this. Favorite track: On The Sunny Side of the Street, Back at the Chicken Shack

loved it, nothing bad to say. I will say I got a bit exhausted towards the end but i did love it.

To B3 or not B3...

Very good. Dig the organ - reminds me of Booker T.

Hell yeah, this is some cool stuff. I'm definitely coming back to this.

Oooo, these cats are swingin’ baby!!

This some smoooooooth stuff right here. Another one of those from my phase of being a very strange 14 year old listening to instrumental jazz because this one was early in the original book. You know what I think it’s still pretty good!

mmmm w końcu jakieś jazzuyyyyy top top top

i love chill jazz

Blues-soaked soul jazz that’s impossibly cool.

Really nice playing. Nothing mind blowing but a super pleasant spin

Really enjoyed it. Lots of fun. Review: 8.7/10 Fave: On the Sunny Side of the Street

JL : 3, On The Sunny Side Of The Street A : 5

Nice jazz album featuring organ, but nothing mind blowing. Just simply listenable stuff. 3.5/5

Amazing jazz and loved the organ. A perfect album for background music.

Muito bom, jazz instrumental, mas gosto de letras

jimmy cooked here

I liked it.

A classic, heaters from top to bottom. With Stanley T on the sax and Kenny B on the guitar. Everyone really opens up on "When I Grow Too Old To Dream", what a joy. Ah and on Minor Chant, a drum solo! Trading 4 with Stanley. Messie Bessie is another workout. Ending with a definitive (for me) Sunny Side. Look at first glance, folks will think this sounds like elevator music. This is a sensational jazz quartet. 4 stars. The only thing keeping it from being a 5 is, I don't dig the organ bass sound.

franchement sympathique

Fun

Я люблю джаз, но это однотипно

Way too smooth. A little guitar, a little sax here and there. Very nice.

Really cool jazz album. 8.8/10

Great album

Low 4 for me for Jimmy, another Blue Note gem i don’t know with great playing and good tunes, love Kenny Burrell clocking in for a couple of tracks too.

Chill and jazzy. Would listen again. Rating: 7/10 Favorite Song: Messy Bessie

For what it is, a 4, in isolation, a 3. A little too smooth to be greater than a 3.

Tento jazz je príjemný

Cool background music. 4 stars

Nice. A lot of the jazz I've heard on this list has been willfully difficult and experimental, so it's good to hear something smooth like this.

I think appreciation for this album depends a lot on how you feel about the organ. I am not a fan, but here it is played so masterfully that it doesn't really matter that I don't typically respond to it, it is interesting, and impressive. That being said, it has such a signature sonically that while it's being stretched to the limits by pure genius, it does of course sound a bit alike at the end of the day. I liked, I thought it flew by, but I can't parcel it enough for a five.

so chill :)

Legends at work. Jimmy is arguably the greatest B3 player of all time. Add in Kenny Burrell and Stanley Turrentine and you get a great soul jazz album.

3.5 - Good

More jazzy albums on a Friday, please. "On the Sunny Side of the Street" is quite cool.

I love this list for showing me I like jazz

This was a great discovery for me. I particularly liked the sections of organ-guitar interplay. Smith is the expert of a pretty niche jazz instrument. A solid 4 star album even after assessing the saxophone penalty. (Sorry those are the rules)

Organ, sax, drum, guitar - jazz.

Apparently I really like Hammond organ. Probably best album on this list with chicken in its name.

Good jazz. Love the swing beat

Pretty good jazz. Think I’d struggle to play the drums for some of this stuff

Ha! Looking forward to this over the Beach Boys I just had to endure. I guess that says where I’m at. This is actually quite good. Solid. More than I expected. Not quite a 5. 4 Boolean: True. Thank you 1001, never would have known without you…

Great classic Jazz

Elegant and interesting. A nice way to enjoy instrumental music

Lovely. "Sounds like the inside of my head," as someone else said on here. 4 stars
