Organ legend Jimmy Smith’s Midnight Special captures the soulful essence of jazz and blues, recorded during a remarkably creative period at Van Gelder Studio in 1960. Joined by tenor sax great Stanley Turrentine and guitarist Kenny Burrell, Smith leads a simmering, late-night session that showcases his subtler, tasteful side as he weaves rich, dynamic textures on the Hammond B3.

This 2023 Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series edition highlights the warmth and depth of the original analog tapes, letting the expressive interplay between Smith and his bandmates shine brilliantly. From the relaxed groove of the title track to heartfelt ballads and bluesy burners, Midnight Special is an essential listen for jazz and blues lovers seeking the magic of classic Blue Note artistry.
