Jimmy Smith revolutionized the use of a Hammond B-3 organ. Arguably his finest moments, the sessions with Stanley Turrentine (tenor sax) helped define jazz. Prayer Meetin’ is brimming with the bluesy grooves that made their collaborations classics. Highlights include “Red Top” and the title track’s incredible interplay, while Stanley delivers a ballad tour-de-force on “I Almost Lost My Mind.” Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.

Mastering with purely analog production steps from the original analog tapes.
