JIMMY SMITH – Bashin’ – The Unpredictable… (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series) – LP – Deluxe 180g Vinyl [JAN 23]

Description

LP -180g Black Vinyl Remastered from the Analog Tapes and housed in a Deluxe Gatefold Sleeve.

Jimmy Smiths first album for Verve, recorded in 1962, Bashin features the organist in two very different configurations – the first with an Oliver Nelson-conducted big band (including up-and-coming trumpeter Doc Severinsen), and the second with Smiths regular trio with Quentin Warren (guitar) and Donald Bailey (drums.) This historic set was a turning point for Smiths career, with the track Walk on the Wild Side becoming his biggest hit to that point, reaching #21 on Billboards Hot 100 chart.

Verves Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
