Prayer Meetin' captures organ virtuoso Jimmy Smith at his soulful best, joined by tenor sax legend Stanley Turrentine, in a session that helped define the sound of soul jazz in the early 1960s. Recorded in 1963 for Blue Note, the album simmers with late-night blues grooves and showcases the magnetic interplay between Smith’s Hammond organ and Turrentine’s warm, expressive saxophone.
This renowned collaboration shines on every track, with standout moments like the riveting exchanges on the title track and "Red Top," as well as Turrentine’s emotive ballad work. Part of the Blue Note Tone Poet Series, Prayer Meetin' is a must-have for jazz enthusiasts seeking the timeless energy and swinging soulfulness that made Smith and Turrentine’s partnership a classic.
