Those two volumes are my favourite Jimmy Smith. I´m not really a trio listener, so I like more the albums with horns, and here I find my favourites plus Art Blakey.

Dave Lambert at this stage always reminds me a bit of Harry Shearer's character in A Mighty Wind.

Pete Fountain – Pete Fountain's New Orleans

I've been pretty deep in the weeds with this stuff over the last week. The kind of Dixieland that fills the bins: Fountain, Hirt, the Dukes, Hunt, etc.

This one is perfectly pleasant, if not something I am likely to think about ever again.

Most of these records haven't reached that kind of height.

Now on to: 

Lawrence Welk And His Dixieland Boys – Lawrence Welk Plays Dixieland

Another Pete Fountain. This one is actually not bad at all. A nice raggedness to it.

That one was a Christmas present the first Christmas I was into jazz, from a well-meaning relative. I hid my disappointment well, I think?

The only thing I remember off of it is Jack Sperling's drumming on "Saints". That a snappy little business that I return to once a decade or so.

Jack Sperling does a good job on the record. Not a good job playing classic jazz: he comes across quite modern. That's one thing I enjoyed.

Yeah, Jack Sperling was not a trad drummer. More of a big band guy. Les Brown, Lionel Hampton. A "harder" swing.
