Bashin' (Acoustic Sounds)
Jimmy Smith’s first album for Verve, recorded in 1962, Bashin’ features the organist in two very different configurations — the first with an Oliver Nelson-conducted big band (including up-and-coming trumpeter Doc Severinsen), and the second with Smith’s regular trio with Quentin Warren (guitar) and Donald Bailey (drums) This historic set was a turning point for Smith’s career, with the track “Walk on the Wild Side” becoming his biggest hit to that point, reaching #21 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
