@@DrLumpyDMus I have put in my 10,000 hrs. of practice (maybe twice that but at least 15K) (Harmonica player 51 years, including a Swing, Jazz, Blues Band 10 years so listen to JS much) and I would still say there is some "magic" sprinkled in there somewhere!
Fantastic, and glad someone commented that the killer guitarist on the Guild, name , Nathan Page. Got to hear more by him, thanks for putting this up!!
After hearing that supposed "Hammond sound" emulated on an endless array of today's keyboards, I'm just thrilled to finally get to hear the _real_ thing. And to then have it presented by someone who clearly knows how to use it really, really well - that's just the icing on the cake!
Looks like Jimmy is playing on a A100 series. I have an A105 and matching Leslie 251 here in my office. Try as I may, I can't make it sound like Jimmy Smith :) Maybe another 20 years of 8 hour a day practice might get me closer.
That Jimmy is one of the most talented Jazz musician is an understatement. The Jazz Organ is the grandest of Jazz instruments. It's amazing how Jimmy Smith is able to blend various musical idioms - church, folk, funk, soul, and Jazz into his play. And he plays the instrument almost effortlessly. His emotions and expressions while playing shows how deep he goes. An Adept and Pure Genius. Talk of how the music makes you feel...... That's out of this world🌹 Jimmy Smith - Jazz Organ Nathan Page - Guitar Charles Crosby - Drums
There's so much good music here, over fifty years old, with class players and playing, select items and tunes, nicely balanced concert variety, just three people, as so often is possible, making the mood, the memory, the pleasant moment.. Old and famous greats would surely smile here...
So many of us took our inspiration from him and the thrilling direction in which he took the Hammond. Thanks SO much for this great video. To feel close to the players is so good.
.Jimmy Smith - Live in Denmark 1968 James Oscar "Jimmy" Smith (Dec. 8, 1925 - Feb. 8, 2005) Jimmy Smith (h.organ, voc), Nathan Page (g), Charles Crosby (dr) Setlist: Ode to Billie Joe, Sonnymoon for Two, Days Of Wine And Roses, Got My Mojo Working, Satin Doll NOTE: Nathan Page uses a thumb pick - unusual for a jazz guitarist. Jimmy Smith brought him that Guild guitar when he joined the group.
It’s good Jimmy could play bass pedals. Then, you only have three guys to share the money with. Easier to travel around too: hotel rooms, food, transportation. A big band means logistic hassles and less pay- too many to share the money with, though pleasing for the audience (if they don’t have to pay too much).
I have my own mini concert every morning and all of my neighbors know when I am working out. I get lost in the music and before I know I am finished. Jimmy Smith's is one great artist to get a good work out to.
one of my all time favorite guitarists ,nathan page. I saw him play only once I went with my dad to Blues Alley in Washington,DC where I think Nathan was living at the time..He was in duo with pianist Marc Cohen..he then moved to Florida where he became very active in promoting Jazz in his city,Orlando I think ..He brought Dizzy's band down there to perform in a local club
Ed, I knew Nathen from our days in DC and played with him more than once. One of my favorite guitarists--the Wayne Shorter of the guitar. We were friends until he died of cancer in 2003. I heard him and Marc Copland (né Cohen) one night at the One Step Down in DC. They did a 20-minute version of "Body and Soul" that I remember vividly to this day.

OH My! Thank you lord God for your guidance which led me to this video. Listen and watch jimmy's facial expressions closely beginning at 13:20 and climaxing at 19:50. The epitome of deep emotion, higher bliss and supreme talent. This entire video is priceless! Each musicians skill and their tightness as a unit is of the highest magnitude.
Jimmy Smith plays a Hammond organ, model A100 console with a case by Danish Hammond licensee Broedere Joergensen. Sounds like a rehearsal was taped - no applause between the cuts. However, it is a beautiful, historical document!
I gotta say if it weren't for my love of the beastie boys, I would've probably had some very boring musical tastes, you hear something that you like then you investigate and end up discovering all kinds of great stuff, one day you're trying to learn how to play slide guitar and the next thing you know you're listening beefheart trout mask replica, I love music and art, and I love Jimmy Smith, if you can't dig this we're just living different lives
The first tune is Ode to Billie Joe which turns up a year later on the Groove Drops album. It's easy to see where the ideas originate. A lot of reviews panned the Groove Drops album at the time, but it's actually one of my favorites because while it's not as innovative, the session establishes nice grooves on various tracks where the band really sizzles. Too much emphasis can be placed on innovation and Jimmy achieved so much during these years his critical bar got pushed ridiculously high. Groove Drops is still a very solid album though not quite as spectacular as some others.
Nathan Page ! _ _ _ makes me forget that I ever heard of Jimmy Page . The cat smokes _ _ good pairing with Jimmy . I think they'll be a section of heaven made up of organ trios .
I think Nathan Page plays his ass off. He's the generation after McFadden. Check out Jimmy Smith The Boss because he plays on some of the tracks. George Benson is on the other ones.
I've seen a couple of gigs where Eddie looked like a rabbit in the headlights. He was still good but this guy is comping sweeter than Eddie did on the ones I heard. Fair play
@@thomasforsythe6353 I don't believe there's evidence to suggest he's left-handed. It seems like he plays melodies on his left hand when he is playing ballads since it's slow enough that he can play bass on the feet, and since he would always be playing chords on his right hand it would probably feel more natural to keep doing so.
Great stuff but did anyone notice that from 2.23 to 2.44 the image is reversed. Jimmy wears his ring on the left hand and it has magically jumped to the right. Look at 4.59 and 6.10 and you will see what I mean.
Smith was so good, he played the heads (on ballads) with his LEFT hand on the upper keyboard; chorded on the lower keyboard and played bass pedals...NOBODY else did that!
I just closed a loop, like ewes did with me;-) I love the Swedes, btw ;-) «-} Did you watch the sweedisch cooking show by Jim Henson. Great for the kids & children alike :-)
I don’t think so, Jimmy McGriff, Dr Lonnie Smith, Jack McDuff, Will Bill Davis……, they all legends in mastering of the Hammond organ and have they own playing style, don´t forget the many great Hammond Gospel player too. But Jimmy Smith was the one who causes the Hammond organ to become now in the jazz scene.
Lol at 14:00 Jimmy had to get mad at his band because they were nappin on the job and didn't come in at the start of the head to Days of wine and roses!
Thank you very much for sharing this Video it a great Live Performance. I have two questions: is Sir Jimmy playing Bass with both his Foot & Left Hand at the same time during some of his Comping? What's happening at 24:48 to 24:58? The Video recording seems to be mirrored right to left! How did that happen???
Holy cow ... this is outstanding ...
also, just because nobody has mentioned it - how beautifully this is filmed!
YOU CAN'T go wrong when you share a legend like this- you win everybody heart of love and appreciation, especially mine-"!!!!THANK YOU!!!
Page is such an under-appreciated player with great feel and phrasing. And he sounds so good with Smith. Wish there were more recordings of this trio!
It is amazing how Jimmy Smith combined gospel melodies with blues, jazz and funk... amazing, absolute magic.
The dude that asked are those guys high. Are you? Just dig the grooves fool !
Magic? Only to the non musical. To a musician it's his 10,000 hrs of practice.

Jimmy Smith ROOT DOWN is one of the best ever live
Genius.......the greatest player of Hammond
I just absolutely ❤️❤️❤️Jimmy, his music always makes me feel good!!!
This is so good and enjoyable,all 3 are in such a groove sync
Got to see Nathen at a jazz fest in Casselberry (Orlando suburb) before he passed. Still had that grey sunburst Guild! Sounded like burnished gold.
This is ridiculously good...

I’m with you
I'm very glad to read here that Nathan Page didn't simply fall between the familiar cracks but continued to thrive afterJimmy.
Jimmy Smith siempre te reporta alegría. Solo por eso lo considero un gran amigo.
Still can’t believe the bass lines he is playing with his FEET!!
Best organist mind blowing talent pure GENIUS...
Actually he's not playing the lines with his feet! He is playing them with his left hand which is still always impressive.
Regular playing = left hand bass lines with 1 or 2 note foot thump. Ballads = foot bass lines with both hands occupied playing melody and harmony.

Corelli
Dis is sooo smooth!
GRRRRR8 Thanks for gettin this on here!!!!!
Nice!
Jimmy Smith made the world a better place
Pure gold!
Some say Nathan influenced Jimmy's playing, after they recorded together. Nathan died pretty young. I just learned about him mysellf.
Jimmy Smith is a master Jazzman! This trio is smokin'! Dig Nathan Page. What a unique style... Percussionist is solid and locking down the groove.
Nathan Page ! _ _ _ makes me forget that I ever heard of Jimmy Page . The cat smokes _ _ good pairing with Jimmy . I think they'll be a section of heaven made up of
organ trios .
The always superb, manly timing by Smith - not just playing lazy, but phrasing. A master Still in awe, apart from (later) showtricks.
goed om weer eens te horen .
OMG great Master
Year, location, personnel?
The guitarist is no Eddie McFadden. His name was Nathan Page: www.jazzhouse.org/gone/lastpost2.php3?edit=1049794336

Agree
wow I love this, He must be left handed. Great stuff!! Jazz on!!!
He wasn't left-handed.
Didn't know he was a lefty until today 03/01/23 and been listening to Jimmy for 55 years

NOTICE HOW NATHAN COVERED UP THE "F" HOLE WITH TAPE..... WHAT A PLAYER
That guitar has the same pickups as my '74 BC Rich Seagull Jr.
The James Brown esk back beat kept in pace with the feet of Jimmy Smith. That's together ! To say the least.
Incredible! Where? When? Mid-sixties I guess?!

Thanks, this is great to see, what's not to love. I'm always impressed by the organ basslines, big sound for 3 people.. no MASTERS
I really appreciate my dad Nathan for exposing my to these great musicians I didn't realize how great these guys was until I got older
Wow,i won ´t ever forget to see this wonderful video by jimmy cGriff trio.He played like my idol jimmy smith...or are they the same people !!?
2 different Jimmy's. This is Jimmy Smith. The Boss Got his Mojo Workin
Jimmy plays the bass with his left hand? Good lord that is other worldly.
In combination with pedals...
That’s why we have 2 halves to our brain. Once you get the hang of LH bass it’s fun!
Yes most organists do this!
I love that tune I hait I share it
Jimmy playing at his best
Wish I knew who's playing guitar and drums.
Great stuff but did anyone notice that from 2.23 to 2.44 the image is reversed. Jimmy wears his ring on the left hand and it has magically jumped to the right. Look at 4.59 and 6.10 and you will see what I mean.
I noticed his left hand playing lead and moving right for lower pitches.
The overhead shots were done with a mirror hung from the ceiling.
god trio i love great musique tank you
love it!!
Smith was so good, he played the heads (on ballads) with his LEFT hand on the upper keyboard; chorded on the lower keyboard and played bass pedals...NOBODY else did that!
Please, does somebody know the name of these songs? Thank you so much!
Mr Smith is so chill - what a ZaZen guru... lol
Two ads you can’t skip RUclipss gone mad
FWIW, Nathen Page has a terrific solo on "Fingers" on Jimmy Smith's The Boss.
That record is chock-full of heroic, virtuostic performances, including by George Benson. The title cut is monumental.
His GOT MY MOJO WORKING is almost bettet than McKinley Morganfields😂❤🎉
I just closed a loop, like ewes did with me;-) I love the Swedes, btw ;-) «-} Did you watch the sweedisch cooking show by Jim Henson. Great for the kids & children alike :-)

Ode to Billie Joe
Thanks👍

Great organic 💓😁
I wonder why Jimmy is looking sad at 13:31 when he plays The Days of Wine and Roses. Does anyone know?
The context of the song itself is quite sad
Does someone knows who's the guitarist?
What cymbal is that? It's crazy
My guess would have to be that it's some sort of late 50s to mid 60s 20" Zildjian A ride he's hitting on his right
Has anyone tried to play Wine and Roses with left hand melody and right hand chords?
That's exactly what was done here.
Masterful
soui music
8:44 face like: God damn guys realy, that good???
Please...who can tell me the name of the first tune an this video?

Happens in the first number too. Amazing how his ring switches hands too. I think the first pedal shot is backwards as well
Yes this happens at 2:23 as well, looks like the downwards-facing camera is mirrored
