Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery: The dynamic duo

I didn't know the cover was so funny.

This is not only the collaboration of two soul jazz giants, but Oliver Nelson's big band charts of "Night Train" and "Down By The Riverside" are among the greatest work of his career. "James And Wes" and "Baby It's Cold Outside" are small group sides with the organist and guitarist supported only by Grady Tate and Ray Barretto. Rudy Van Gelder's sound is absolutely breathtaking.

This 180-gram audiophile pressing was made by Speakers Corner in Germany.

Track list:

1. Down By The Riverside
2. Happy-Go-Lucky Local (Night Train)
3. James And Wes
4. 13 (Death March)
5. Baby, It's Cold Outside
6. O. G. D (Road Song) Alternative Take
