Release Notes:
Softly As a Summer Breeze is one of Jimmy Smith's more obscure
Blue Notes. The six-song trio program finds the organist joined by
either guitarist Kenny Burrell and drummer Philly Joe Jones or
guitarist Eddie McFadden and drummer Donald Bailey. In the
original liner notes, Leonard Feather makes it seem like a
ballad-oriented set, but "Hackensack" really cooks, "Sometimes I'm
Happy" struts, and "One For Philly Joe" (a familiar but
unplaceable melody used for a later pop tune) has its exciting
moments. What is unusual about the set is the absence of any
blues. The CD is augmented by four other selections that were
originally released as 45s and are features for Bill Henderson's
vocals; the singer is joined by Smith, guitarist Ray Crawford and
drummer Bailey. Henderson's debut, a version of "Senor Blues" with
Horace Silver, had been a hit, but lightning would not strike
twice, although the he would have a productive career during the
next four decades.
