Jimmy Smith- The Cat-LP

Jimmy Smith – The Cat

Jimmy Smith made the Hammond B-3 organ a central jazz voice, and The Cat is a natural place to hear why his soul-jazz reputation still carries weight. His playing helped connect jazz with the language of 1960s soul, which gives this record appeal beyond straight hard bop circles. The track list includes “The Cat,” “Theme From ‘Joy House,’” “Basin Street Blues,” and “St. Louis Blues,” mixing title-track recognition with blues-rooted material. This copy is a 1964 mono vinyl pressing, a nice format detail for a vintage Jimmy Smith record. At $22, it offers solid copy-specific appeal without leaning on unsupported rarity or edition claims. The record is graded VG+, so expect a few light lines, sleeve marks, or small scuffs, but not wear that should dominate the music.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
