The record
Ballads at organ tempo, which is a different animal from ballads at piano tempo -- Jimmy Smith leans on the instrument's sustain through The Nearness Of You, Autumn In New York and The Very Thought Of You, with Eddie McFadden's guitar and Donald Bailey's drums staying well back. Blue Note 1563 from 1957: Alfred Lion producing, Leonard Feather on the notes, Francis Wolff behind the camera.
