Jimmy & Wes: The Dynamic Duo is the third collaboration album by American jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery and electric organist Jimmy Smith, released in 1966.
Richard S. Ginell reviewed the album for AllMusic and was highly favorable in his comments, writing "... the results are incendiary—a near-ideal meeting of yin and yang. Smith comes at your throat with his big attacks and blues runs while Montgomery responds with rounder, smoother octaves and single notes that still convey much heat. They are an amazing pair, complementing each other, driving each other, using their bop and blues taproots to fuse together a sound."
- Track 6 is a bonus track not included on the original LP
