Tribute To Jimmy Smith Lucky Peterson SKU: JV3357014748 Barcode: 3149027004879 20.00 £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Jazz Village Released Date: 13th October 2017 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Lucky Peterson focuses on his favourite instrument, the Hammond B-3 organ, and its warm sound to pay tribute to his mentor and friend, king of the B3 Jimmy Smith. Lucky has chosen to work on this project with some real virtuosos, including the great drummer Herlin Riley and one of the greatest saxophonists of all time, Archie Shepp. Throughout this album, Lucky Peterson proves he has absorbed a long musical history anchored in the blues, but incorporating the beat of jazz, the groove of rhythm ‘n’ blues and the energy of rock ‘n’ roll. Twelve years after his death, the time is right for Lucky Peterson to pay tribute to Jimmy Smith’s genius and passion, by focusing on his chosen instrument and performing for the first time some of the great jazz standards, such as his take on the sublime Garner tune Misty. The album is predominantly instrumental, but vocals are used twice: Lucky Peterson himself sings on a surprising cover of A Song for You by Leon Russell – which Donny Hathaway also sang beautifully way back when, and which has been renamed Singin’ This Song 4 You – and then Archie Shepp sings his heart out, yelling the blues in his inimitable ‘shouter’ style on Jimmy Wants to Groove, a composition by Lucky Peterson. “Jimmy Smith, the Philadelphia-born Hammond organ pioneer, who died aged 76 in 2005, generally approached his performances like a man who was certain he was in showbusiness, rather than art. Smith’s gigs regularly involved plenty of stagey gesticulation, badinage with audiences, and mopping his brow with towels. The music was mostly rooted in that most accessible 20th-century formula, the twelve-bar blues. But the art was never far below the surface. Smith refined and modernised a musical instrument better designed for travelling preachers, magic shows or the end of the pier. He brought a sophisticated and high-powered pianist’s technique to it, and in coupling the Hammond’s holy-rolling aptitudes to bebop, helped open up modern jazz to audiences otherwise impatient with its intricacies.” John Fordham, The Guardian Artist Lucky Peterson Genre Jazz Label Jazz Village Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Night Train The Sermon The Champ Jimmy Wants to Groove Singin this Song 4 U Jimmy's Jumpin Misty Back at the Chicken Shack Blues for Wes Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Lucky Peterson and more from Jazz View Product Quick View Lucky Peterson I’m Ready Blues | DECCA(UMO) | 2LP Released 28th July 2023 £35.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Lucky Peterson I’m Ready £35.00 Genre: Blues Label: DECCA(UMO) SKU: 4548001 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 28th July 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Lucky Peterson 50 – Just Warming Up Blues | Jazz Village | 2LP Released 20th December 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lucky Peterson 50 – Just Warming Up £24.00 Genre: Blues Label: Jazz Village SKU: JV570135 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 20th December 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jan Garbarek I Took Up The Runes Jazz | ECM | 180g, 1LP Released 29th January 2007 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jan Garbarek I Took Up The Runes £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: ECM1419 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th January 2007 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Michael Legrand (REIMAGINED) Jazz | Decca | 1LP Released 28th October 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Michael Legrand (REIMAGINED) £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca SKU: 4857594 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Tolliver Music Inc Live At Slug’s Volume 2 Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 9th September 2022 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Tolliver Music Inc Live At Slug’s Volume 2 £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: SES-19720 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 9th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Herb Alpert Come Fly With Me Jazz | Herb Alpert Presents | 180g, 1LP Released 25th September 2015 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Herb Alpert Come Fly With Me £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Herb Alpert Presents SKU: 0814647020020 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ella Fitzgerald Like Someone In Love Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released 28th May 2021 £60.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ella Fitzgerald Like Someone In Love £60.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AVRJ6000-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 28th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joel Ross Presents The Parable Of The Poet Jazz | Blue Note | 2LP Released 15th April 2022 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joel Ross Presents The Parable Of The Poet £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 3891819 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 15th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Matthew Halsall Salute to the Sun Live at Hallé St. Peter’s Jazz | Gondwana | 2LP Released 3rd December 2021 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matthew Halsall Salute to the Sun Live at Hallé St. Peter’s £27.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gondwana SKU: GONDLP047 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 3rd December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ida Sand My Soul Kitchen Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 9th November 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ida Sand My Soul Kitchen £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACT97361 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Coltrane Offering-Live At Temple University Jazz | Resonance Records | 180g, 2LP Released 20th October 2014 £52.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane Offering-Live At Temple University £52.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Resonance Records SKU: ARES9632 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 20th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roy Haynes Quartet Out Of The Afternoon Jazz | Verve | 1LP Released 23rd August 2019 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roy Haynes Quartet Out Of The Afternoon £15.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 7746431 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
