Organ Grinder Swing is a 1965  by . This album marked a return to the trio ensemble that Smith used on his  recordings earlier in his career.

Reception

AllMusic's Scott Yanow gives the album four stars, and states:

This outing is a throwback to Smith's Blue Note sets (which had concluded two years earlier) and gives the organist the opportunity to stretch out on three blues and three standards. This release shows that, even with all of his commercial success during the period, Smith was always a masterful jazz player.

The album was the second highest charting album of Smith's career, reaching a chart position of number 15 on the US  charts, it was on the charts for 31 weeks.
