Organ Grinder Swing (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series) LP TSOV-00254 Elton John to Terry AllenReleased in mid 1965, Jimmy Smith took a break from the typical big band sessions hed been doing for Verve with this pared down trio date, enlisting Kenny Burrell (guitar) and Grady Tate (drums) to take on a selection of blues and jazz standards.
