180-gram virgin vinyl with pure analogue mastering.
Producer Creed Taylor made a wise choice in bringing Jimmy Smith, Wes
Montgomery and Oliver Nelson together in 1966: the innate drive of the
arrangements audibly animated the man with the "strong thumb" (he did
not use a plectrum) and the magician at the organ attacked the keys with
just a mite more aggression than in his previous Blue Note recordings.
This cauldron bubbles and boils hellishly, the ingredients are as hot as
chili sauce, and with every taste one cries out for more but all too
soon the five plates are empty. Luckily, one can start at the beginning
again with "Down By The Riverside" where Wes plays the guitar as though
he had invented it and Jimmy literally explodes on the keys. "Night
Train" is an excellent example of Oliver's geniality in arranging for
brass, sparingly allotting dabs of sound as it were between the two
soloists. This small ensemble with its drums and percussion gives the
listener the opportunity to admire the uncanny rapport between the two
members of the dynamic duo. All in all a perfect production of the very
highest standard.
