Jimmy Smith’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? from 1964 offers a rich dive into jazz organ with a focused, intimate group setting that highlights his signature blend of groove and sophistication. Tracks like "Slaughter On Tenth Avenue" and the title cut demonstrate how Smith’s Hammond B3 can lead a band with both power and subtlety, balancing bluesy warmth against crisp, melodic lines. This album sits comfortably among his best work, appealing to listeners who appreciate jazz that’s both relaxed and precise, with a nod to the theatrical flair suggested by the title. This pressing from 1964 presents the music on vinyl with a condition rated VG+, meaning it shows normal signs of use such as light surface marks or paper scuffs but remains entirely suited for regular play without major distractions. For anyone who enjoys collecting jazz organ or focused acoustic ensembles, this album offers a snapshot of Jimmy Smith’s artistry during a prolific period. It’s a reminder that even a title referencing a stage fright classic can have no trouble stealing the spotlight on your turntable.
