Release Notes:
Review by Al Campbell
The tracks that make up Straight Life had been sitting in the Blue
Note vaults since they were recorded on June 22, 1961,
representing the only recorded output that year by Jimmy Smith and
his trio of the era, which included guitarist Quentin Warren and
drummer Donald Bailey. Somehow these ten songs got lost in the
shuffle between the 1960 Blue Note date Crazy! Baby and Smith's
leap into the national spotlight with his first Verve release,
Bashin', in 1962. The trio swings along on six standards and three
originals "Straight Life," "Jimmy's Blues," and two versions of
"Minor Fare." Although not in the same league as Midnight Special
or Prayer Meetin', it's great to hear this long lost hard bop
session from the master of the Hammond B-3.
