Blue Note Classic Vinyl Reissue Series of Jimmy Smith's Midnight Special on All-Analog 180g LP Mastered by Kevin Gray Directly from the Original Master Tapes and Manufactured at Optimal in Germany
It’s a testament to Jimmy Smith’s volcanic creativity that the Hammond B3 organ firebrand recorded not one but two soul jazz classics – Midnight Special and Back at the Chicken Shack – in a single day when he entered Van Gelder Studio on April 25, 1960 with Stanley Turrentine (tenor saxophone), Kenny Burrell (guitar) and Donald Bailey (drums). Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series features stereo, all-analog mastering by Kevin Gray from the original tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Optimal.
