Review/Notes

AMG review by Michael Erlewine

Groove great Kenny Burrell and Jimmy Smith (Hammond organ) together on the same album. Includes a rendition of “Fever.”

Penguin, 9th ed.

***(*) Three days of spare studio time while Smith was at work on a big-band date led to this highly enjoyable blowing session. The principals’ interplay on the title-track sums up their whole musical relationship: punchy, bluesy but soaked in the good homour of playing for kicks.
