Bucket!

Untitled

Bucket! is an album by American jazz organist Jimmy Smith featuring performances recorded in 1963 but not released on the Blue Note label until 1966. The CD reissue added two tracks recorded at the same session as bonus tracks.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 3 calling it "a pretty good record, one that hardcore fans will find satisfying after they've exhausted the greater Smith sessions, but not one that will captivate the attentions of anyone who isn't a dyed-in-the-wool Jimmy Smith aficionado".
