    This pleasant set pairs Hammond B-3 whiz Jimmy Smith with jazz guitar ace Wes Montgomery in a mixed bag of small-group and big-band sessions recorded September 23 and September 26, 1966. Highlights include the ten-minute opener, "Down by the Riverside," although at times the horns seem to get in the way of these two fine musicians. It's still a nice set, though, if not exactly essential for fans of either of these guys.
