Hey all you pointy-heads maybe you can help me out. Listening to some jazz before hitting the hay a few nights ago when I actually started to "listen" to the song that was being played as it was smokin' and I'd never heard it before. Thankfully Mr. DJ provided me with the name of the song and the album. It was Jimmy Smith's album entitled "Six Views of the Blues" with Cecil Payne on sax, Art Blakey on drums and Kenny Burrell on guitar. The album was released originally in 1958 and not re-issued until 1999 and only as a limited release. Neither Sams nor HMV stocks it. Do any of you gentleman have this fine, underappreciated disc in your collection?
