This legendary 1966 collaboration captures the only full-length studio meeting between Hammond B3 organ master Jimmy Smith and jazz guitar icon Wes Montgomery. Recorded at the renowned Van Gelder Studios and produced by Creed Taylor with arrangements by Oliver Nelson, Jimmy & Wes (The Dynamic Duo) brings together two of jazz's most influential voices at the height of their creative powers.
AllMusic's Richard S. Ginell awarded this album the maximum five-star rating, calling the results "incendiary" and describing it as "a near-ideal meeting of yin and yang." This Verve Vault Series reissue preserves what would be Montgomery's final recording for Verve Records, making it an essential piece of jazz history that showcases the dynamic interplay between these two masters of their respective instruments.
