This outing is a throwback to Smith's Blue Note sets (which had concluded two years earlier) and gives the organist the opportunity to stretch out on three blues and three standards. This release shows that, even with all of his commercial success during the period, Smith was always a masterful jazz player. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/organ-grinder-swing-mw0000192515\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Pressed on 180g black vinyl\u003cbr\u003e— Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket\u003cbr\u003e— Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/4bhhWXZzKS81gOilfj9fQW?utm_source=generator\u0026amp;theme=0\u0026amp;si=4be430e694af4c8d\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Analogue Productions \/ Verve Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, Gatefold\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2026 \/ Originally Released: 1965\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Soul-Jazz, Hard Bop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Audiophile Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analogue Productions \/ Verve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48142623867038,"sku":"602478866418","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/71seLw-fvYL-_UF1000-1000_QL80.jpg?v=1786784024","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.com\/products\/jimmy-smith-organ-grinder-swing-acoustic-sounds-series","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
