Of all of organist Jimmy Smith's big-band albums recorded for Verve, this is one of the most imaginative ones. Oliver Nelson arranged a variety of themes from Prokofiev's Peter & the Wolf into a swinging suite featuring the great organist Jimmy Smith. Although there is no verbal narrative on this LP, Nelson's liner notes tell the story (which can actually be followed through the music) and Smith pays respect to the original melodies while making strong statements of his own. A classic of its kind.

Scott Yanow - All Music Guide



One of my all time favorites by Mr. Smith. My personal favorite here is Elegy For A Duck. This is no tongue in cheek type recording. This is really powerful with Oliver Nelson's big band and Jimmy has plenty of time to show off his stuff. Such a great arrangement, don't delay thinking it might be hokey, it's far from it. Jimmy Smith has done a wonderful job with this great classical work. An amazing album. A must for any jazz fan.
