This effort from Kim Simmonds (Savoy Brown), Jazzin’ on the Blues, is wonderfully brilliant. Featuring twelve amazing instrumental tracks of Simmonds killing it on acoustic guitar, bass guitar, and harmonica alongside percussionist Ron Keck, this record is destined to stand the test of time.
Bursting out a Latin groove to kick things off, Simmonds masterfully plays “Dancing on a Memory” with a suave finesse. I absolutely adore this track. Title track “Jazzin’ on the Blues” and “The Maze” are another couple of stellar originals which shine brightly. Simmonds’ performance is absolutely flawless. I also immensely enjoy Simmonds’ stunning covers of Bill Doggett’s “True Blue” and Smokey Robinson’s “Shop Around”. They are both very nice indeed. Like a beautiful Technicolor sunset at the end of the day, “Fascination” brings a lovely end to the album. Jazzin’ on the Blues is an album I can sit down and enjoy from beginning to end, plus a few more times round again. It’s that good. ~Phillip Smith
