Plays Fats Waller is an album by American jazz organist Jimmy Smith featuring performances of tunes associated with Fats Waller, recorded on January 23, 1962 and released on Blue Note later that year.[1]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Steve Leggett states, "It's fairly typical Smith, who careens, bolts, stutters, glides, and flashes notes all over the place at a frequently breathless pace, doing what he always does, which is being Jimmy Smith at the organ. That's what you want, and that's what you get here."[2]
