2. At any rate, as fans of bebop and hard bop that were at their peak in the 's and 's know, the pairing of jazz' greatest guitarist ever, Wes Montgomery and the greatest B-3 organist ever, Jimmy Smith, whom I must admit may lose his crown one day to his number one disciple, Joey DeFrancesco, is a summit of gigantic proportions/5(35).

3. Creed Taylor matched two of his most famous artists, Wes Montgomery and Jimmy Smith, on this session (Montgomery's last for Verve), and the results are incendiary -- a near-ideal meeting of yin and yang. Smith comes at your throat with his big attacks and blues runs while Montgomery responds with rounder, smoother octaves and single notes that still convey much heat/

5. This is a very fine jazz album with beautiful interplay between Jimmy Smith on organ and Wes Montgomery on guitar. I only give it 4 stars because to me the more flamboyant Smith 'takes over' and is far more prominent than the more introspective Montgomery/5(31).

7. Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery lay down some smoking hot tracks. The combo is tight, and yet there is a chill groove throughout the album. I recommend this album for anyone who likes that Hammond sound or smooth, driving, full phrasing on a guitar. This one won't let you down!/5(28).

8. In September , organist Jimmy Smith and guitarist Wes Montgomery got together at Rudy Van Gelder's famed studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. Over the course of three days, the two jazz icons recorded the material for two now-classic albums: The Dynamic Duo () and Further Adventures of Jimmy and Wes (), backed by a big band featuring arrangements by the great Oliver Nelson. .
