Great Jimmy Smith Album
This is a classic album. The transfer sounds great. The sound quality is only diminished by the age of the recording. Very enjoyable.

Hmm
Recording & transfer top notch However not my favorite Jimmy Smith

Very Nice Album, The Sermon was the second of two albums recorded on two dates at The Manhattan Towers Hotel Ballroom, the first was Smith's previous album, House Party (1958). Rudy Van Gelder used the ballroom as a recording studio for recording sessions in 1957-1958. Nice Recording
Jimmy Smith - another must have
