The Cat

Description

The undisputed master of the Hammond Organ, from which he alone could coax a blues with a sharp groove, Jimmy Smith embodied the instrument to perfection, becoming its most important spokesperson.
In the early 1950s, the young organist accompanied some of the greatest jazz bandleaders and frontmen, such as Lalo Schifrin, Oliver Nelson, and also Wes Montgomery, Hank Mobley, Lee Morgan, Lou Donaldson, and many others.
Released in 1964, 'The Cat' remains to this day the absolute classic by Jimmy Smith at the peak of his art. Supported by Lalo Schifrin as bandleader, the organist offers an album with a meticulously crafted groove. Discover this essential opus in an audiophile 180-gram vinyl edition.
