Recorded on February 8, 1963 at Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs featuring Jimmy Smith (organ), Stanley Turrentine (tenor sax), Quinten Warren (guitar) and Donald Bailey (drums). Fact is, Smith's organ is a voice in itself; applauded for what not, might best be described as a 'talkin' player. Here is a man who conveys uncluttered, basic emotions through B3 and Leslie speaker that sometimes eerily closely resemble the inflections of jazz vocals, albeit often in the tempo of a bop-oriented Speedy Gonzales. Indeed, as a sermon Prayer Meetin' is a redeeming exercise.
