His album \u003cem data-start=\"285\" data-end=\"304\"\u003ePlays Fats Waller\u003c\/em\u003e was recorded on January 23, 1962 at Rudy Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and released later that year on the Blue Note label. The album functions as a tribute to Fats Waller, one of the most influential figures in early jazz. Waller was best known as a stride pianist, composer, and entertainer, and Smith’s project reinterprets Waller’s piano centered repertoire through the sound and rhythmic approach of a modern jazz organ trio.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe album features Jimmy Smith on Hammond organ, Quentin Warren on guitar, and Donald Bailey on drums. Without a piano in the ensemble, Smith uses the organ to supply melody, harmony, and bass simultaneously. Characteristics of stride piano, particularly strong left hand rhythms and independence between musical layers, are translated into walking bass lines played on the organ pedals. This allows Smith to preserve the rhythmic energy of Waller’s music while adapting it to a contemporary small group format.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e Organ – Jimmy Smith \u003cbr\u003eDrums – Donald Bailey\u003cbr\u003eGuitar – Quentin Warren\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecording Info: \u003c\/strong\u003eRecorded on January 23, 1962, at Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey\u003cbr\u003eProducer – Alfred Lion\u003cbr\u003eEngineer – Rudy Van Gelder\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSourced from a Blue Note original pressing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponents used for this transfer: \u003c\/strong\u003eAnalog: Transferred using a VPI - HW-40 Anniversary Direct Drive Turntable - Cartridge used Ortofon MC Anna - Merrill Jens Phono Preamp\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDigital: Merging Anubis Analog to Digital Converter powered by Teddy Pardo Linear Power Supply, clocked by an Antelope Audio 10MX Atomic Clock\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSoftware: Merging Pyramix v15\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePower Conditioning: Shunyata Research Everest 8000 for all components with Shunyata Sigma-X Power Cords.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAll components are grounded to Shunyata ALTAIRA Hubs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Everybody Loves My Baby 3:46\u003cbr\u003e2 Squeeze Me 5:29\u003cbr\u003e3 Ain't She Sweet 3:34\u003cbr\u003e4 Ain't Misbehavin' 3:41\u003cbr\u003e5 Lulu's Back In Town 5:20\u003cbr\u003e6 Honeysuckle Rose 7:00\u003cbr\u003e7 I've Found A New Baby 6:04\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/VRR-Logo-for-Blog_480x480.jpg?v=1681127948\" width=\"112\" height=\"103\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Title is in the Vinyl Record Restoration Series.
