Softly as a Summer Breeze is an album by American jazz organist Jimmy Smith featuring performances recorded in 1958 but not released on the Blue Note label until 1965. [1] The album was rereleased on CD with four bonus tracks recorded at a later session.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating
"Softly As a Summer Breeze is one of Jimmy Smith's more obscure Blue Notes... Overall, this CD is not too essential, but it does fill in a few gaps." [2]
