Jimmy Smith - Back At The Chicken Shack: The Incredible Jimmy Smith (1963/2013) [Official Digital Download 24bit/192kHz]

"Back At The Chicken Shack: The Incredible Jimmy Smith" is the jazz legend’s seminal 1960 Blue Note session. Smith is joined by Stanley Turrentine, Kenny Burrell and Donald Bailey for this funky soul-jazz masterpiece. Reaching the Top Twenty on the Billboard 200, the album includes the standouts “Minor Chant”, “Back At The Chicken Shack” and much more. It is included in the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Back at the Chicken Shack is one of organist Jimmy Smith's classic Blue Note sessions, and the first to draw attention to tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine. Recorded in 1960 with Kenny Burrell on guitar, Donald Bailey on drums, and Turrentine, the group reaches the peak of funky soul-jazz that all other challengers of the genre would have to live up to. Included on this uptempo session is a reworking of "When I Grow Too Old to Dream" (a feature for Turrentine), Turrentine's "Minor Chant," two Smith compositions, "Messy Bessie" as well as the set's notable title cut. Smith's Midnight Special album was recorded at these same sessions, and is also exceptional.
