Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 I was reading a somewhat positive review of Jimmy Smith's "Bluesmith" & saw that it has Teddy Edwards on it. I have ever heard this session. Is it worth finding? Has this material ever been out on a legitimate CD release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 I am glad to own it; is it as great as the Turrentine collaborations on BN? Probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie87 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 The only CD issue on Discogs is from Russia. https://www.discogs.com/release/3955513-Jimmy-Smith-Bluesmith I'm going to guess it's not legit, but it says licensed from Universal to Lilith Ltd. There's one copy on discogs available, from Italy, but with shipping it goes for $44. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhatta Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Bought a long time ago (I think in 2006, when it came out). I didn't think it was a bootleg as it was in proper paper packaging and I bought it from a regular CD shop. I think it's called so-called half official or gray market stuff. There are English liner notes and (presumably) Russian translations. It says 'Manufactured in EU / Under license from Universal Music Plc., Russia', so at least they had a contract in Russia, I guess. Musically, the atmosphere is a bit different as Leroy Vinegar plays bass instead of Smith's feet. I quite like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
