The record



Title: Jimmy Smith - Bashin'
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1962, Soul Jazz, Norristown, Pennsylvania 6/26
Matrix #: V6-8474
Condition: VG+ (LM) | Members: Jimmy S (25' - 05')
Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle: Smith built his Hammond organ style through obsessive private practice after switching from piano, turning a club instrument into a hard-earned jazz weapon.

  2. Studio Lore: Bashin' paired Smith with Oliver Nelson’s large arrangements on one side and a leaner small-group setup on the other, making Verve sell both polish and grit.

  3. Scene Ecology: Rudy Van Gelder’s room helped define the organ-jazz boom, giving players like Smith a recorded presence that could hit jukeboxes, lounges, and serious jazz buyers.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
