JamesJimmy Smith's organ playing is full of swagger, groove, and remarkable technical control throughout Midnight Special. Supported by Stanley Turrentine and Kenny Burrell, he creates music that feels simultaneously earthy and sophisticated. The blues influence is never far from the surface. The performances are relaxed but deeply infectious. Smith's ability to make the organ sound orchestral remains astonishing. It's one of the definitive soul-jazz recordings.
