│ Happy Holidays from MiNDSCAPE. ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ Jimmy smith presents a modern Christmas Christmas 64. The ││
│ arrangements are as new as tomorrows sports car; the songs ││
│ included are as traditional as the tinseled tree. ││
│ ││
│ Christmas 64 showcase the dynamic Jimmy Smith organ in a ││
│ variety of settings with full orchestra and with his own ││
│ swing trio. The big band is conducted by Billy Byers ││
│ throughout, and the arrangements are by Byers too, with the ││
│ exception of We Three Kings, which comes from the pen of Al ││
│ Cohn. ││
│ ││
│ Since Jimmy is one of the most original jazz musicians ││
│ playing today, it stands to reason that the music on this ││
│ album is like nothing heard in jazz to date, The classic ││
│ Christmas catalog is given new dimension a broad, soulful ││
│ sound that in no way destroys the content and the meaning of ││
│ these majestic songs, but adds to their emotional fervor. ││
│ ││
│ The album actually holds two different versions of that ││
│ stately carolGod Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen. First, thereÆs a ││
│ big-band interpretation that underlines the majestic quality ││
│ of the melody and leaves mush room for Jimmy to display his ││
│ flashing technique. Then, too, theres a trio version of the ││
│ song which eloquently shows the breath and teamwork of the ││
│ three-man concept. ││
│ ││
│ Jimmys reading of Jingle Bells puts a rubber-tired swing ││
│ under the one-horse open sleigh. Besides the organistÆs ││
│ propulsive solo in the trio setting, theres some very nimble ││
│ guitar work from Quentin Warren. ││
│ ││
│ We Three Kings (of Orient Are) was arranged by Al Cohn. Its ││
│ filled with Near-Eastern undertones and the crystal-clear ││
│ sound of chimes and bells. These are balanced against the ││
│ sound of percussion and deep ensemble passages. All of this ││
│ opens up into a bright, flaring setting for Jimmys most ││
│ unusual chorus. ││
│ ││
│ Christmas 64 will last long after the shining lights and the ││
│ yuletide tree have been put away. It is not only a seasonal ││
│ album, designed for listening when the holiday time is at ││
│ its height, but a definitive collection of familiar material ││
│ treated in a highly original manner. Music that will stand ││
│ up at any time strong arrangements and exciting solo work ││
│ are the order of the day. ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ If you like this release go out and buy it. ││
