Comments: Possible 1962 pressing due to the fact that 47 West Side was retired in 1962 and New York USA introduced in 1962. NOT A DEEP GROOVE. Non-feelable scratch end of track 1 side 2 that is audible during playback. With original inner sleeve.

    About this album

    The Sermon! is a vital hard bop statement from Jimmy Smith, showcasing the Hammond organ as a leading voice in modern jazz. Released in 1959, the album builds on Smith’s gospel-rooted style with extended improvisation, blues feeling and a loose, sermon-like intensity that helped define his reputation beyond novelty appeal. Its title piece and the presence of standards such as Flamingo underline how Smith could turn familiar material into something urgent and deeply personal. As one of his most admired Blue Note-era albums, it remains a strong example of how organ jazz broadened the sound of post-bop.
