Customer Reviews and Comments
I bought LPs of these two sessions back when they first appeared (Jazz Odyssey, 1957; Meets the Smith Girls, 1960) and I've missed listening to them since I switched over to digital. Now they are released as one long CD.Actually, this release is even better than the original because it adds three cuts, one quite short, with Emmett Berry, Dickie Wells, Budd Johnson, Milt Hinton, Jo Jones et al as side men.I'm having such fun listening to these songs again! Arkansas Blues (from Smith Girls) has to be one of my favorite Rushing cuts of all time --that rough, strong but urbane voice, backing by Coleman Hawkins, Buster Bailey, Dickie Wells, etc. Hawkins is an absolute bear on these cuts. My wife's favorite? Tricks Ain't Walkin' No More, with Rushing talking the story along and playing piano behind. The Jazz Odyssey album was inspired in composition --different groups for each of the four stages of Jimmy's travels --Walter Page on bass and Zutty Singleton on drums (what a drummer he was!) for New Orleans and Kansas City, plus Vic Dickenson on trombone and (for KC) Buddy Tate on tenor, equally great bands, though less thrilling to me, for Chicago and NYC, with the incomparable Jo Jones drumming. Oh, this is wonderful, happy 'blues' music. Rushing's voice can be heard to advantage on numerous recordings but these two sessions are as good as anything that glorious singer ever did. As to the side men, not only do they sound good, they sound happy.
