Home Cookin' is an album by American jazz organist Jimmy Smith featuring performances recorded in 1958 and 1959 and released on the Blue Note label.[1] The album was rereleased on CD with five bonus tracks.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Lindsay Planer states, "The Hammond organ mastery of Jimmy Smith is arguably nowhere as profound as on this collection... Jimmy Smith's voluminous catalog is remarkably solid throughout and Home Cookin' is a recommended starting place for burgeoning enthusiasts as well as a substantial entry for the initiated".[2]
