Sweet and Soulful Sounds is an album by American jazz pianist Bobby Timmons recorded in 1962 and released on the Riverside label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Stewart Mason awarded the album 4 stars stating "Sweet and Soulful Sounds, from 1962, is a most atypical record for Bobby Timmons. Long thought of only as a funky piano player in the style that Ramsey Lewis would later make commercially successful, Timmons could also play prettily, as he does on this ballad-heavy set... This is an unusual record for Bobby Timmons, but a great one".[2]
