The Cat is a 1964 album by Jimmy Smith. It features the sound of Smith's Hammond B-3 organ with big band arrangements by composer Lalo Schifrin. The album reached number 12 on the Billboard 200 chart. The track "The Cat" has been sampled by Pizzicato 5 "Twiggy Twiggy" and The Orb "Perpetual Dawn (Ultrabass 2)". "Theme from Joy House" (Lalo Schifrin) – 4:38. The Cat" (from Joy House) (Lalo Schifrin, Rick Ward) – 3:24. Basin Street Blues" (Spencer Williams) – 4:00.

Certainly his renditions of the "Theme from Joy House," "The Cat," and the "Main Title from The Carpetbaggers" are not all that significant. However, this set has some tasteful arrangements for the big band by Lalo Schifrin, and some good playing by the great organist on a variety of other blues-oriented material. Also, the combination of organ with a big band is sometimes quite appealing, making this album worth picking up despite its commercial focus.

Jimmy Smith - The Cat. Posted on the 06 April 2014 by Ripplemusic. I have a long list of things I want to write about, and will eventually get to them, but right now there's an album permanently parked on my turntable - The Cat by Jimmy Smith. I've been a huge Jimmy Smith fan for many years but in the past mainly listened to his Blue Note recordings from the 1950's. The past year or so I've been picking up many of the albums he made for Verve starting in 1962 and they've really floored me. Albums like Hobo Flats, Bashin' and Dynamic Duo (with Wes Montgomery) usually feature a mix of trio recordings and big band arrangements.
