Torrent description


Jimmy Smith - Live at the Village Gate (APE+CUE)

Please keep seeding as long as you can.

These sessions live at Art D'Lugoff's Village Gate night club in Greenwich Village/N.Y.C. on May 31, 1963 were at one point previously unreleased, eventually issued by the short-lived Metro subsidiary of MGM on vinyl sometime after being recorded, and reissued on CD by Verve in 2008. There are no extra tracks, the session is barely over 30 minutes, the sound a bit thin but not to its detriment, and these facts need to be considered when seeing the purchase price. While Smith's playing is peerless as always, his band with guitarist Quentin Warren and young drummer Billy Hart may be a curiosity for some. Warren is not the best or most adept plectrist Smith employed, but gets the job done in a quiet, unassuming manner. Well before hitting his stride as a premier progressive jazz performer, Hart's style is set apart from soul-jazz drummers like Donald Bailey, Billy James, or Bernard Purdie, using looser rhythmic associations instead of hard-edged funky beats. The resulting performance is very good in spurts but not essential overall. As the repertoire was somewhat unfamiliar for Smith and his fans at the time, Hart's off-the-beaten-path rhythm navigation offers the most intrigue. When the trio kicks off with the Ray Charles hit "I Got a Woman," the drummer uses African type churning rhythms aside Warren's crisp, clipped guitar on this fingersnappin' fave. Hart's use of his upper and lower tom-toms again de-emphasizes straight funk or swing on the midtempo swinger "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey?" "The Champ" is more along the lines of the classic bop Smith did favor at the time, with Warren's off minor, angular, out of the ordinary lines a departure from soul-jazz, but falling in line with a Thelonious Monk riff. The careful version of "If I Were a Bell" turns up the sly and seductive quotient, a sedate and secretive melodic inference courtesy of Smith, picking up steam a bit during his solo. One might wonder in retrospect what Smith thought of this date, and though collectors and completists will certainly enjoy the playing of this fine trio, it does remain a sidebar to many of his many other classic live sessions.

Jimmy Smith Trio: Quentin Warren (guitar); Jimmy Smith (Hammond b-3 organ); Billy Hart (drums).
