Our Take

JIMMY SMITH Groovin At Smalls Paradise is like stumbling into a jazz lover's dream on a rainy Tuesday night. Picture this: velvet curtains, dim lighting, and the unmistakable sound of a Hammond organ purring in the background. Smith's fingers dance effortlessly across the keys like a seasoned magician, weaving sonic spells that transport you to a smoky New York City jazz club in the 1960s.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "I'll Close My Eyes," setting the tone for an evening of soulful improvisation and infectious energy. Smith's band mates, including guitarist Quentin Warren and drummer Donald Bailey, are clearly in sync, creating a tight-knit musical tapestry that is both mesmerizing and exhilarating.

As the night unfolds, we are treated to fiery solos, toe-tapping rhythms, and soul-stirring melodies that keep us hanging on every note. Tracks like "The Champ" and "The Man I Love" showcase Smith's virtuosity and raw talent, while slower ballads like "Mack the Knife" and "On the Sunny Side of the Street" tug at our heartstrings with their emotional depth.

Groovin At Smalls Paradise is a masterclass in jazz craftsmanship, a testament to the enduring legacy of a true musical genius. So grab a cocktail, settle in, and let Jimmy Smith take you on a journey through the golden age of jazz. Trust us, you won't want to miss this ride.
