.Never miss a Jimmy Smith record, especially this one, full of jazz grooves gems, where Oliver Nelson's arrangements supports Jimmy Smith's smooth organ. Recorded in 1968 on Verve, this is a luxury melting pot of a crossover between Lalo Schifrin and Burt Bacharach alchemies. You'll find terrific bass loops and lush orchestrations all along these 9 tracks. This LP oppened with a brilliant cover of the "mission impossible" theme, followed by be-bops incursions, the mainstream is jazz and the background groove. This is a must Have !
