UK reissue of this album from the Jazz great. The sessions for HOME COOKIN' began in July 1958 at Rudy Van Gelder's famed studio at his parents' home in Hackensack, completing the recording almost a year later (although Jimmy undertook other sessions at Van Gelder studios during the course of that year)! the elongated recording sessions did not result in the album losing any of it's spontaneity, with HOME COOKIN' regarded as one of the best of his career. Featuring an eclectic mix of repertoire, including two compositions from Jimmy himself, HOME COOKIN' is a varied yet extremely enjoyable album. There is some dazzling organ work, courtesy of Jimmy, interspersed with Percy France's emotive work on the saxophone, rounded out by Kenny Burrell's exceptional guitar licks and Donald Bailey driving the beat.
