Nasty! is an album by jazz organist Johnny "Hammond" Smith recorded for the Prestige label in 1968.[1][2] The album is notable as the first recording featuring guitarist John Abercrombie.
The Allmusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating "in a sense it's run-of-the-mill as far as Prestige late-'60s soul-jazz goes: quite fine grooves, a dependable yet somewhat predictable house sound, and a reliance upon cover versions for much of the material (two-thirds of the songs, in this case). It's solidly executed, though, in a lean fashion that, to its credit, runs counter to the more excessive arrangements that were creeping into soul-jazz around this time".[3]
