Here is what people are saying about the Jimmy Smith - Back at the Chicken Shack
4 Star Rating  "Swingin', organ-driven soul jazz!"2007-08-15
- Reviewed By mr105601
Back at the Chicken Shack isn't the greasy, deep-fried jam session that its title and cover promise. The music here is simply too clean for that- it doesn't commad enough raw attitude, merciless bite, or filthy relentlessness to make this a truly, deliciously nasty experience. Occasionally, this works against the album's potential entertainment value- portions of "When I Grow Too Old To Dream" and "Minor Chant" sound absolutely toothless, dragging on and on without creating anything resembling a groove.

Still, relative tameness notwithstanding, this album's got soul, and plenty of it. Jimmy Smith absolutely wails on his Hammond organ, spitting out strings of melody that fuse jazz, gospel, and R&B with eye-watering virtuosity. Meanwhile, Stanley Turrentine plays a velvety, evocative tenor sax which provides a lush, dreamy contrast to Smith's grinding. Kenny Burell seals the deal with his effortlessly fluid jazz guitar playing. All three of these players shine on the fantastic title track, a shuffling soul-jazz strutter with some of the coolest solos ever recorded by anyone. "Messy Bessie" sees the group hunkering down into a relentless groove, shooting forth some of the swinginist music you've ever heard. The best moments of "When I Grow Too Old To Dream" and "Minor Chant" just about neutralize all the boring parts.

At its best, Back at the Chickrn Shack is an irresistable bit of soul-influenced jazz, full of great solos and unstoppable grooves. Good stuff!

Jimmy Smith (1925-2005) recorded this classic for Blue Note on April 25, 1960, popularizing the Hammond B-3 electric organ in the process. This is soul-jazz funk music, with its strong relationship to the blues and gospel music. The sidemen on this recording are: Stanley Turrentine (tenor sax), Kenny Burrell (guitar) and Donald Bailey (drums).

"Back at the Chicken Shack" was recorded during the same session that the famous "Midnight Special" came out of. The title track on this release is immersed heavily in the blues, made clear by the accent on Jimmy's organ. Track two, "When I Grow Too Old to Dream", showcases Stanley Turrentine reworking a classic Romberg and Hammerstein II title.

Track three, "Minor Chant", is an original composition by Turrentine that swings really hard. The track first appeared on Turrentine's album "Look Out" recorded earlier for Blue Note. Smith gets plenty of solo time to share with Stanley's heated solos. Track four, "Messy Bessie", is another heavily blues influenced excursion, this one showcasing Turrentine, Smith and Burrell with respective solos. And track five, the standard "On the Sunny Side of the Street", Smith & Co. execute this one with precision and finesse.

This is a well produced, well executed, incredibly enjoyable album from Smith's extensive career. Not owning this album leaves a giant whole in your jazz collections. Digitally transferred by Ron McMaster, this session is crisp and alive. Jimmy Smith's ""Back at the Chicken Shack" easily earns itself five stars in my opinion.

I agree 100% with Guy from New Haven. And even though I don't possess all of Jimmy's albums, this has to be his best... Maybe the the best jazz album ever!!! Never heard anything so groovy; it's B3 organ, Tenor Sax and good rhythm galore!!!

I don't know which track is best because they're all stunning but to name a few, maybe "Minor Chant" by Stanley Turrentine (who brilliantly plays the sax throughout the album), stands out a little... not by much though. "When I grow too old to dream": what a sweet melody!... Messy Bessie (by Jimmy) is so good, I would have appreciated a finale instead of the fade-out we got (but that's okay). And technically, the 1960's Blue Note pure, clear, and no-fuss analog recording sounds flawless.

If you're jaded with the traditional organ-drums-guitar formation, check this out because tenor saxophone truly adds a uniquely elegant and amazingly powerful dimension to Jimmy's already great sound! This will put a smile on your face and make your head bounce!

It's a sad day for me today because I just heard that the great Jimmy Smith passed away 2 days ago at his home near Phoenix. He was far and away THE GREATEST HAMMOND B3 PLAYER WHO EVER LIVED!!!
I can't think of anyone else who had such an impact and defined the classic jazz blues sounds of the 50's and 60's like he did!
As for this album, Back at the Chicken Shack, I agree with previous reviewers who consider this and Midnight Special as his two best! I like them both equally!
And one final note, I was lucky to see Jimmy three times, most recently three years ago at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in Southern California, and he graciously signed my vinyl album cover of "Chicken Shack" which also has the autographs of the late great saxaphonist Stanley Turrentine and guitarist Kenny Burrell! I am very proud to own this album and hope to be able to perhaps donate it to a Jazz museum for future generations to see. Jimmy, thanks for all the incredible music! Rest in Peace.
