Witness something really special - By: David Johnson, 02 Dec 2006 
This record is amazingly sleak from the bluesy title track, the jumping, "travellin," on to the wonderfully subtle,"fever," where Smith really starts to blow some fire into his organ. They work so wellin tandem; Jimmy provides the funk, Kenny the sophistication. The guitar at the start of,"Blues for Del," is simply beautiful & then the scurrying organ comes in. Burrell's soloin the middle really makes the track, he's the master at making the complicated sound easy. "Easy living," is so sumptuously languid it's almost painful to listen to, this is followed by the upbeat Benny Goodman number,"soft winds," where Jimmy Smith gets a chance to showcase his trickery.
This definitely has the feel of two old mates getting together one afternoon to simply have fun, it all sounds so effortless & I guess that's evidence of their brilliance as musicians.
This is one of THE great Jazz convocations your likely to hear, the reworkings & alternative takes on this reissued CD really capture the essence of a session. Really worth the investment if you're a fan of either of these two guys.
