5.0 out of 5 stars Great album brings back great memories, July 16, 2010

This review is from: Bashin (Audio CD)

A popular jazz album in 1962 was this session featuring Jimmy Smith, with "Walk on the Wild Side" being the great favorite of jazz aficionados and pop fans alike. The song peaked at #21, no small achievement for a jazz musician at that time. Smith's music for the movie is probably better remembered than the film itself, although the entire set is a real jam session. "Ol' Man River" and the title tune "Bashin'" are also excellent numbers. This jazz CD is a real nice trip down the music memory lane.

This CD is really some smokin' playing by Jimmy. It's highly recommended. The big band backup of Oliver Nelson, with whom Jimmy collaborated on for a good number of recordings really adds to the BASHIN'. It's real powerful stuff all the way through.

I have 3 Lp copies of this CD. All in terrible state. I spinned these lp's hundred's times. Arrangements by Oliver Nelson are splendid. Numbers like step right up and walk on the wild side are worth 6 stars. Bravo Jimmy, this must be your best album ever.
