Johnny “Hammond” Smith “The Stinger” Prestige Records (1965) Design/Pop Art: Don Schlitten. sDusty Groove says: A great little groover from Johnny Hammond Smith — and one of his rarest albums! The record may be rare because it’s got a strange cover that features a comic character that looks like the Green Lantern, and Prestige might have gotten nervous about copyright infringement. Johnny’s in great form on the Hammond, and his combo really cooks nicely — with Floyd Smith on guitar, Earl Edwards on tenor, and Houston Person sitting in for the version of the title cut. The set features a great version of Smith’s groover “Cleopatra & The African Knight”, plus “Benny’s Diggin”, “There Is No Greater Love”, “You Don’t Know What Love Is”, “The Stinger”, and “Brother John”.

The great photographer William Claxton passed away this week. His work captured most of the musical legends of the mid-Twentieth Century and appeared on many Pacific and Contemporary album covers. Working from the West Coast, he often brought his subjects out of the dark nightclubs they inhabited and into the California sun. For example, this very un-jazzlike shot of Sonny Rollins on “Way Out West” for Contemporary Records (1957) With Shelly Manne and Ray Brown.
