At Club Baby Grand is a live album by American jazz organist Jimmy Smith featuring performances recorded at Club Baby Grand in Wilmington, Delaware in 1956 and originally released in two volumes on the Blue Note label.
The Allmusic review by Steve Leggett states "It's all Jimmy Smith in full flight, bubbling over with cascading notes and breathless detours, and if his studio work is generally more structured and considered (but only a little more so), this set shows him in what was his natural habitat, astounding an audience in a small club. Bailey keeps up with things and Schwartz gets a word in now and then, but this is Smith's show all the way".
