Great Stuff.......2006-08-03
Jimmy Smith at the Top of His Game.......2006-07-21
The record was cut in late 1966 when Jimmy Smith had already paid his dues and was at the top of his game, pushing the Hammond B-3 Organ to its limits, and was an inspiration to every keyboard player in every genre after 1996. If you don't already know, Jimmy Smith combined blues and jazz and his favorite sub-genre was a sorta shuffle blues that had a great melody line for about 12 bars, then broke into solos by the various personnel.
The CD was recorded by the legendary Rudy Van Gelder who was the engineer from about 1955 into the late 1970's for Blue Note, Verve, and finally CTI records. He has clean sound, and this is in Stereo, and is not too out of balance like many of the earlier Stereo experiments.
The CD also features Wes Montgomery, a terrific jazz guitarist in the Earl Klugh and George Benson genre. If you like either, you'll like the licks here.
The CD features some big band accompaniments on "Down by the Riverside" which detract from the overall groove the music, and sounds out of place. The band was basically a quartet playing small quartet stuff, and then this 10 piece band comes wailing in.
The best song of the CD is "James and Wes", a signature shuffle blues piece with a terrific melody and some great jams. If you want a greatest hits of Jimmy Smith, this song would have to on it.
mellow mood.......2005-11-19
An essential jazz masterpiece for any collection.......2005-11-04
While Jimmy Smith had a prolific career spanning decades, Wes Montgomery died not long after this recording of a heart attack. This and A Day in the Life are his two great recordings. The recording quality of this is superior to the later. And this has more pure jazz improvisation.
There is something indifinable about the mix of these two geniuses, but this recording really cooks!
I have had this recording in various incarnations since it came out, and never get tired of it.
I am listening to it now and it is 1,000 volt sound!
If you don't have it, get it.
The Dynamic Duo!!!.......2005-03-15
This was my first introduction to the real jazz side of him. IT was owned by my uncle who had put it on the turntable, where I admired it in awh. "That's the same guy who played, Elenore Rigby?"
Jimmy Smith, monster of the Hammond B-3 compliments Wes good. The whole album is great! It's basically just another jazz album, but never-the-less has some killer tracks!

Album Description
More marches, waltzes, and fox trots in this recording of the New Verbeeck Band Organ at Seabreeze Park in Upstate New York. On a hill above scenic Lake Ontario, the music of the band organ can be heard on the breezes drifting over the blue water. Twenty-three tunes bring back the sounds of summer from Seabreeze Park - the whirling carousel and prancing horses spin around to the music of childhood, and this fabulous recording captures the wonderful memories. Grab the popcorn, and come for a ride! This completely digital recording is crystal clear and an oversized insert includes pictures and fond memories of Merrick Price - to whom the album is dedicated. The last song was recorded on the carousel while it was moving - an innovative idea that captures the sensation of really being on the ride is enhanced by wearing headphones. This piece of Americana in music - a must for the audio collector, carousel enthusiast, or fan of mechanical music, is a one-of-a-kind gift item.Customer Reviews:
carousel.......2007-01-03
The Ideal Merry-Go-Round.......2005-07-18
In another review I mentioned that that CD offered a partial and rather idealized carousel experience, for it could only provide the sound, and that sound was much more refined and free of ambient noise than would be encountered during an actual carousel ride. That comment applies as well to this recording, and perhaps more so, for the band organ in a typical operating carousel never sounded so good as the one here. This instrument has a remarkably lovely, sweet tone and, being brand new, is in perfect condition. The rolls used were obtained from no less a source than the Library of Congress, and represent a very choice selection.
The music itself includes mostly waltzes, marches, polkas, and one-time popular songs, such as Beer Barrel Polka, Sweet Rosie O'Grady, Liberty Bell, and Scatter-Brain. Less to be expected, but supremely apt, is the fine waltz from Richard Rodger's overture to the musical show Carousel. This last was experimentally recorded on the moving carousel, and thus provides an especially realistic auditory image.
For merry-go-round and band organ enthusiasts this recording might well occupy a place of honor in their CD collection. For those who desire a more realistic, though less ideal, recording I would recommend the old 1973 Takoma Records release "Last Chance on the Merry-Go-Round" (# A 1038), which I believe is no longer in the catalog. (Takoma Records was acquired in 1995 by Fantasy Records.) My personal copy of A 1038 is an LP, and I suspect no CD version was ever released. That recording was made at the carousel on the pier at Santa Monica, California, shortly before the pier was to be demolished. (Thus the title of the recording.) Since it was made while the carousel was actually in operation, the sounds of bystanders and children, along with the carousel drive motor are included. I don't know what ever became of that carousel or its band organ, but would guess they were moved to some collection somewhere. In any case, I have fond memories of wandering along the pier on a fine Saturday afternoon and watching and listening to the carousel and its excited young customers.
