Release date: 23 January 2026

Jimmy Smith's first album for Verve, recorded in 1962, "Bashin'" features the organist in two very different configurations — the first with an Oliver Nelson-conducted big band (including up-and-coming trumpeter Doc Severinsen), and the second with Smith's regular trio with Quentin Warren (guitar) and Donald Bailey (drums) This historic set was a turning point for Smith's career, with the track "Walk on the Wild Side" becoming his biggest hit to that point, reaching #21 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

VERVE ACOUSTIC SOUNDS SERIES: mastered fully analogue from the original tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound, QPR pressing (180 g), firm tip-on gatefold (Stoughton Printing), padded inner sleeve.
