The trio of Hammond organ pioneer Jimmy Smith, Quentin Warren, and Donald Bailey was one of the longest-lasting and most prolific groups in modern jazz. This January 23, 1962 session stands out for its concept: the father of the modern organ saluting one of the men who introduced the pipe organ in jazz. Smith is the only soloist and he visits seven songs written by or associated with Fats Waller. His versions balance reverence with his own unique style.
