Bright Moments Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 (edited) This set from 1963 has Smith with a pretty large group. It's a PARTY!!!! Inexplicably, AMG gives it 2.5 stars. AAAARRRGH!!!!! Ignore AMG and pick this one up. This is a great cd! B-) Edited August 14, 2004 by Bright Moments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connoisseur series500 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Worth it for the cover alone... B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Moments Posted August 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 it's timely to listen to this one now as a tribute to ray charles as jimmy plays What'd I Say, Ruby and Georgia on My Mind. B-) i myself dig the track "ape woman" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 I found it a little disjointed - would have liked it much better if it was all big band or all quartet. The Ape Women has a different title on another Verve LP - sorry can't remember - who was the arranger/composer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMP Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 "Ape Woman" is on a Cal Tjader "Verve," with a different title - I can check when I get home. That cut is the highlight of the Smith LP. Actually, I think 2 1/2 stars is about right for that mishmash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
