Condition:  

DISC:  Play-grades nice VG++ with nearly 100% of original gloss.  There are a few superficial scuffs, but no serious marks or distractions.  A very enjoyable album with superb fidelity and musicianship. 

JACKET:   Jacket is VG+ with nice bright artwork.   There is a small split/chip (approximnately 2”) at center of spine; otherwise seams and spine are nice.  Top corners are bumped.  Reverse has some surface/ring, and initials of original owner are written neatly at the top.  Not perfect, but certainly presentable.  

Track Listing:  

Side One

  • Falling In Love with Love
  • How High the Moon  

Side Two: 

  • Funk’s Oats 

Review:

“On February 11, 1957 (and after cutting five albums with his trio), organist Jimmy Smith recorded with trumpeter Donald Byrd, altoist Lou Donaldson, and tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley in a sextet that also included guitarist Eddie McFadden and drummer Art Blakey.  Among the songs recorded that day, two (lengthy versions of "Falling in Love with Love" and "Funk's Oats") are included on this LP along with a shorter trio rendition of "How High the Moon" from two days later with McFadden and drummer Donald Bailey in a trio.”
