The record
A 1968 Blue Note compilation, BST 89901: eight Jimmy Smith organ sides including 'The Sermon,' 'Midnight Special' and 'Prayer Meetin'.' Leonard Feather and Francis Wolff both wrote notes and Wolff shot the cover, with Forlenza Venosa Associates on the design. The credits name no one but Smith, so whoever is behind him on these tracks goes undocumented here.
