Jimmy Smith

I was told about Jimmy Smith recently and would like to pick up some of his music. Can anyone suggest his best album(s)? Thanks

I would also recommend "Back At The Chicken Shack", "The Sermon", "Prayer Meeting" and two of my all time favorites with Stanley Turrentine, Grady Tate and Kenny Burrell, "Formost" and "Foremost Returns" and of course "Dot Com Blues" from 2001 was a killer.

"Groovin' at Small's Paradise" is a great live 2-CD set. The Rudy Van Gelder remaster is terrific. "Angel Eyes" on Polygram is one his better later releases from 1995 with great supporting cast most notably Roy Hargrove and Christian McBride. And of course "Dot Com Blues" but I like "Angel Eyes" better.
