Incredible Jimmy Smith, The - Im Movin On

Review by Herwati

The album "I'm Movin' On" by The Incredible Jimmy Smith is a timeless masterpiece that showcases the unparalleled talent of the legendary jazz organist. Released in 1963, the album is a seamless blend of soulful blues, hard bop, and swinging jazz that captivates the listener from start to finish.

The opening track, "Only in It for the Money," sets the tone for the album with its infectious groove and Smith's virtuosic organ playing. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, including a stunning rendition of the title track, "I'm Movin' On," originally recorded by country legend Hank Snow.

Throughout the album, Smith is joined by an all-star lineup of musicians, including guitarist Quentin Warren, drummer Donald Bailey, and saxophonist George Coleman, who all contribute to the album's rich and dynamic sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Way You Look Tonight," a ballad that showcases Smith's tender and emotive playing. His signature bluesy style is also on full display on tracks like "Three O'Clock Blues" and "Got My Mojo Workin'."
