Midnight Special is a perfect complement to
Back at the Chicken Shack, which was recorded the same day. Organist
Jimmy Smith, tenor saxophonist
Stanley Turrentine, and guitarist
Kenny Burrell always make for a potent team, and with drummer
Donald Bailey completing the group, the quartet digs soulfully into such numbers as the groovin' "Midnight Special," "Jumpin' the Blues," and "One O'Clock Jump." Highly recommended.
