Jimmy Smith - Home Cookin' [NEW CD]

4 STARS DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE

INCLUDES 6 BONUS TRACKS

Jimmy Smith’s iconic 1960 album "Home Cookin’" (Blue Note BST-84050). He is backed on all tracks by the great Kenny Burrell on guitar, and Donald Bailey on drums, plus tenor saxophonist Percy France joining the trio on four of the seven tracks from the LP. After participating on a handful of great albums as a sideman in the late 1950s and early 1960s, France wouldn’t return to the studios after 1962 until 1980!

An additional song from the same sessions featuring Percy France, as well as five tracks from a rarely heard 1957 date (with two performances by Smith on unaccompanied organ), have been included here as a bonus.
