2001 studio album by Jimmy Smith
Dot Com Blues is a 2001 album by the American jazz organistJimmy Smith . The album was Smith's first recording for five years, and features guest appearances byB.B. King andEtta James .[ 1] [ 2]
On theBillboard Top Jazz Album chartsDot Com Blues peaked at number 8.[ 3]
TheAllmusic review by Roy Wynn awarded the album three stars and said the album was "...something of a blues sampler with Smith playing a prominent role rather than a Jimmy Smith album. Jazz fans will be happy to know that, after more than 40 years of recording, Smith retains his ability to play, but Dot Com Blues is anything but a showcase for the man whose name is on the cover."[ 1]
