The Legendary Buster Smith

The Legendary Buster Smith is the debut and only solo album released by American saxophonist Buster Smith, recorded and released in 1959. The album features five original compositions by Smith, alongside versions of "September Song" by Kurt Weill and "Organ Grinder’s Swing" by Will Hudson.

In 1959, after several years of suggestion by Atlantic Records, alto saxophonist Buster Smith put together a band to perform a session of Jazz pieces. The album was recorded in a single studio session on June 7, 1959 and was released the next month on August 15. The lineup featured mostly Dallas based musicians, including Smith's own brother Boston Smith.

The album was digitally remastered, remixed and produced in 1999 and released for the first time on compact disc on October 19 of that year.

All compositions by Buster Smith except as indicated.
