hard to admit I've listened and enjoyed jazz since my teens in the '60's..not too much into that progressive jazz but this melo style is the bomb. my grandson has picked up the trumpet, trombone and drums...talk about making my heart sing....lm so happy. the music of today is not in my opinion mysic, just kids making money. but l guess its better than the alternative. long live the Jazz community.
This piece of music used to intrigue me as a youth. Only the opening of the piece was ever played on the 'Money Programme', & so I later pursued the source to 'The Cat' by Jimmy Smith. It's a Great Album as a whole, & if you like this style of 'Big Band's arrangement, I'd Highly recommend it !
As someone pointed out this is one of the last concerts he did before his death. I give the man credit -he went out the way a great musician should playing to the end.
And I do, too. If you haven't done already, I recommend you to check the video in which Herbie Hancock tells Elvis Costelo where did he get inspiration for this great tune. Cheers!
PLEASE people ALWAYS list the musicians when you put music up on RUclips or anywhere--please--OK? Thank you. Jimmy Smith - Organ Mark Whitfield - Guitar Byron Moore - Bass Dowell Davis - Drums
There was nobody better on the organ than Jimmy Smith ( RIP ). A very special musician. We will always remember him and his Hammond music. Thanks for all the great music.
back when musicians didn't get in each other's way... back when melody connected with funk, music that you felt before you even knew what was going on. Amazing
And back when we still had these vinyls and could que them again and again. Then of course decades passed and we moved a couple times and the LP's disappeared?!? :-(
My Old Man HAD Jimmy Smith's Walk On The Wild Side LP...... This HERE is the KING of Hammond B3 Organ.... Wonder IF Greg Rollie of Santana Fame listened to Mr. Smith......
Guitarist building that carpet.... Jimmy's riding down the ally behind the Watermelon Man... horse and cart... direct from the wholesale market...they each had their own distinctive calls & chants... you could name their content from inside your house. Some guys were selling fish and soft shell crabs too.
This is a year B4 Jimmy passed on..I met him walking down the street one day about 4PM in Las Vegas, downtown area..He said, "HI there..He invited Me to His Party that night..I didnt have a babysitter so I did not go..Who knows we may have fallen 4 each other..I regret I did not go see Him..
A GENIOUS A tragic loss , he literally launched the Hammond, his beautiful keyboard skills were special ... R.I.P great master of the keyboard
Yeah , the greatest !! Rip Jimmy !!
Never stop. Jimmy must be funking in Paradise.
The bass player is putting out some well placed notes, very tasteful and artistic
the guitarist is outstanding what a groovey tune
www.markwhitfield.com/
He is Mark Whitfield.
I still have a few albums I bought of him from back in the late 60's !
Nobody hammered a Hammond like this man~! R.I.P.
The Best To Ever Do It. Mr. Jimmy Smith
You never stop listening to jimmy .he’s sensational
The boss! Even in old age you see the young Jimmy come shining through. The old recordings with Jimmy playing bass !! Love it
Lovely to see the other fantastic muscians aswell!! Am used to seeing Jimmy playing bass with left hand and pedal ;)

Smith and McGriff--the world's two greatest Jimmies and Masters of the Hammond B3!
dont forget Barbara Dennerlein!!
Saw both same band at Northsea! Calvin Keyes on guitar. He played sole and exceeded both in applause.
Даа, старичек совсем уже не гребет. Руки то помнят, как играть фразы )))
Дань уважения! Великий мастер B3 !!!
Jimmy's smoking and the young blood on guitar is killing it.
I always remember a great evening at The Jazz Cafe in Camden London on the 21st February 2000.
I was at that gig… so so memorable especially as I grew up on Jimmy Smiths music - back in the good old days of Vinyl
Great guitar solo!
I have nothing with watermelons, but my cat loves this tune, and so do I...............🐈⬛
And I do, too. If you haven't done already, I recommend you to check the video in which Herbie Hancock tells Elvis Costelo where did he get inspiration for this great tune. Cheers!
what a guitar solo!

Check out Joe Defranchesco
Check also Richard Groove Holmes, Charles Earland, George Duke, and Billy Preston. They are all top notch.
Cory Henry bro'....
Dr. Lonnie Smith
@@rfh1234 Amen beat me to it, also no longer in our midst.
Jimmy Smith has been a big part of my life since the 50's. Small's Paradise where he played such great jazz

Man, close your eyes, and he is 29 again. What a life force...

The Incredible Jimmy Smith
Even weakened by illness, Jimmy could make that big Hammond beg for mercy.
Jimmy Smith Greatest of all-time! ❤❤❤
Thanks for the musician list 😊👍
De la pure frappe Mr Smith. Le groove fait homme!
ジョニーのオルガンも勿論ですが、リズムセクションも素晴らしい‼️
Jimmy Smith. My all times favourite.
Amazing.
Thanks for all the wonderfull music.
Inenarrável o prazer de curtir esse som ! Clube dos Velhos amantes da nostalgia
Saw him at the Blue Note around 2000. Lou Donaldson opened. The show was unreal.
I bet Jimmy entertains Heaven on the B3!
WAOW....
INCREDIBLE Jimmy Smith
I love to hear ji.m9
Jimmy on the organ. The guitar sounds good too.
Grande organista, pra mim é um dos melhores. Você prestando ,ele toca e fala com o instrumento. O guitarrista Swing Puro 👍🎵👍
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
Супер Шедевр Легенда.
I know nothing about jazz, though I like it. But, I can definitely hear Water Melons splashing about in here. This is brilliant craft.
amazing jimmy using only 1 hand ! god bless
The upright sounds like an electric. VERY ADORABLE!!
Jimmy, always ahead of the beat. Don't know of any jazz musician who thought as fast outside of Art Tatum, and possibly Gary Burton in his prime.
Oscar Peterson was up there too.
love his music then and now
Love this song, and mostly the way you swing it Jimmy! Grew up loving your music!! God Bless
The great Mark Whitfield on guitar...
Thanks Man. I was wondering...
I always get Whitfield mixed up with Malone!
The master of the Hammond! I got to see him in 95,99 and 2001. He is missed. thanks for posting.
Whatever wine Jimmy's drinking, that's what I'll have.
Eternal Jimmy, I love.
They are tight and not loud!
Jimmy Smith a Great musician the best !...
Keith Emerson (RIP) loved him

He is the best ever.
Great guitar player. I had been reading and listening to Bruce Forman with autoplay on, and thought it was still him until I looked up at my monitor.
Big man and king of Hammond
