There are currently faster hotter slicker more awesome players on all these instruments. I won't name any. But what musicians under Jimmy's direction had was "feeling:. Pure feeling. Nobody has that any more. Less notes, pure feeling.
I saw Jimmy Smith in 1994 at The Concord Club in Brighton East Sussex uk and in 2004 at the Jazz Cafe in Camden, London.At the Brighton gig,he signed a poster for me and I still have it in a frame.
A magnificent Organist and father of Jazz Hammond organ!!!! His arrangement of Satin Doll taught me a lot to use on my B-3 Hammond Organ and was the best arrangement of this song that I had heard!!!Thanks for posting.
I saw Jimmy Smith at the Club Trafalmador (sp) in Buffalo, October 2002. Fortunately, he kicked his own bass, but you could see he was slowing down. I saw him again in 2004 at the Iridium in NYC. He had a bass player with him, and he was not the Jimmy smith of old. However, I have at least ten (10) great live performances to remember, going back to the early 1960's in Buffalo at the Bon Ton and the Royal Arms.
I Do Not get it? The Hammond B3 Organ played by the 'King of Organ Players not to leave out Jack McDuff' Produced a Sound that made its own HEAVEN!!! Today this magnificent unbeaten instruments rest in storages, gone out of production because of the calisthenics of MONEY! Yet, the Hammond B3 Organ CANNOT be touched with the Right King or Queen at its Keys and All that made the Hammond B3 Organ the MASTER EVEN TO THIS DAY!!!! I am an Old Woman that started my 'Music Addiction' not in the church but singing Blues and Jazz in the middle of my Uncle's Crap Table, dicce being thrown by a metronome. I hadn't seen the age of 5 years! This again is the Best of the Best played by the Best Musicians! Sound, Spirit and Sacred Wind are ALL the Holy Same..this is a Diamond Sound in Music!!! The Sacred Wind can NEVER be Retired!! I Love this Sound...
Arteyhviah Badar my father owned and taught himself to play the Hammond organ and his idol was Jimmy Smith. Nothing like this music, you have no soul if you can't get down to this !
What you say it isn't true! The Jimmy Smith sidemen are good and play in a soulful way: listen to Nicolas Payton on trumpet, or the guitar of Mark Whitfield... Not play like Dizzy or Wes, but they are ok the same! It's a very good ensemble for great JIMMY SMITH, the Sermon! ;-) mm65
WOW... I can't believe that a legend like JIMMY SMITH couldn't get better sidemen on this gig than these cats!!! They're like the "B" or even "C" squad
@@8chk92 I thought it was just me. I'm not knocking them as musicians but they're too smooth jazz influenced. They need to explore the greats who went before them because they are example of greatness in jazz.
@@geraldjohnson4013 You have a right to your opinion but 25 years later Mark Whitfield, Tim Warfield, the late Roy Hargrove and Nicholas Payton all proved to be off the top of the pile (pun intended)
Can someone explain why grunting is popular while playing an instrument? I play nearly twenty- and have been playing for 10 years- it just seems like more work to me. I know when drummers get into it they often make funny faces- but that's because they're not focusing on how they look or what face they make. But it could mean that I haven't reached that point of musical homeostasis- or maybe I'm just not "into it" I'm not sure. But musicians like Roland Kirk and Herbie Hancock make it an effort to grunt (just my opinion) during their live performances. Is it voluntary or involuntary that they grunt?
Some musicians can't help but to express their efforts when performing. All the greats do this as they "bob and weave" through the music. You either "really" feel it or you just don't..

I have heard jazz and classical musicians humm and grunt. I guess they feel like singing but can't.

Jimmy gave space for the music and to other players...if you have heard J de Francesco you know what I mean.
Love your music! Last 45 years you have made it swing!! God Bless

He was the father and innovator of them all. Many greats... but in my humble opinion... the greatest!
This is what I'm talking about!...I grew up on Jimmy Smith
My favourite organist. I wish I was able to attend at least one of his shows.
I was fortunate to see him in 95 at Sacramento State University California and in 00 or 01, Sacramento area.
Thank you Gentlemen 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Keep all the great music coming!
Jimmy Smith was asked whether his organ was modified ("beefed up"). Smith replied that the organ was original, but that "I'm beefed up!"
Track Tour bahhha love it 😊 Amen
Jimmy Smith is my Religion within Religion.
The master in action.

If the churches had those organ players, could be I had stay at church longer!
There are plenty of great organists at church.
I would be certain to get to church early and stay till the pastor locked the door. For this incredible music!
my friend right in Hammond
A sensibilidade musical é a ferramenta principal de de Jimmy Smith.

Jack McDuff wasn't in Smith's league anyway
The guitarist is Mark Whitfield

2'13" a 26" é inacreditável o fraseado do Jimmy!! 2'13" to 26" it's unbelievable Jimmy's phrasing!! 2'13" al 26" és increíble el fraseo de Jimmy!!

Red, he, like Hendrix, just loved to jam with any and everyone and never judged musicians in that manner.
Agree. I was going to ask who the guitarist was. Lovely, restrained, well timed comping
What hell are you talking about ?
