Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Jimmy Smith

Musical Composition

March 1964

Jimmy Smith’s "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" channels the restless energy and psychological tension often associated with Virginia Woolf’s complex characters and introspective narratives. While Smith’s album doesn’t follow Woolf’s stories directly, his use of the Hammond B-3 organ creates a shifting, moody soundscape that evokes the inner lives and struggles Woolf explored in her writing.
