This collection is a fine example of the very first Hammond Organ recordings, back at the 40'ies or so. The style on many of the tracks is the fundamental melody/chords/pedal, but Ethel also is very good at the latino american tunes, which she performs with excellent skill and feeling. The sound quality is acceptable for these early recordings and better than on the vinyl LP. This double CD is higly recommended for those who want to hear Hammond music from the beginning. Ethel Smith, may You forever stay in our Hammond memories.
