This is great music ! I grew up listening to this when my aunts & uncles came over for the holidays they would laugh dance get drunk and have a good time and nobody ever got SHOT. Peace to everyone.
It just doesn’t get any better than this group of amazing jazz musicians. These soulful sounds will never be outdated and only get better with time. Too bad most of today’s generation of young people have no clue as to what REAL music sounds like. However, using their language, this bluesy jazz is “dope.”
Nothing matches these days. The Groove, the Funk, the Jazzy Greasy-Beat is no more! One of the very best B-3/Alto groups playing their hearts and soul out! And then the very elegantly drumming by Jimmie Smith pushing it swingingly along! These 4 Giants are by far the best. Just great stuff, so Dig folks, Enjoy & Cheers to these fabulous Jazz artists!

This is incredible. Mc Griff playing Count Basie on the piano and kicking incredible bass at the same time on the B3. So much class. I used to see him often in California...dynamics, swing, feel, he had it all. Quite possibly the greatest Hammond organist who has ever lived.

Hank Crawford is a GREAT VIRTUOSO ON THE ALTO SAX! A master of blues and swing, one of the truly original voices to arise on this instrument since the coming of BIRD!!!
This is jazz at its finest and one might say it just doesn't get any better than this. If this doesn't make you feel good just listening, I don't know what does, just more of this!
Just love watching the drummer; he drums. so effortlessly and keeps the great beat. All of them are great ! I keep finding myself coming back to this session. Wish I was there jamming with them. Thanks for posting. They all look like they are having the time of their life, enjoying every note.
I can't imagine the jam sessions in haven with so many great musicians there such as Jimmy, Miles, Ray Brown and Ray Charles, to just name a few, as well as the heavenly host. Wow !!! Too much to think about, brain overload.
EVERYONE in this group is STELLAR! The chemistry and "groovilisity" among the musicians is audibly palpable. Crawford and McGriff have been musical heroes forever, but I was taken to school on drummer Jimmy Smith. Don't know where guitarist Bob DeVos came from, but that guy's a keeper! So sorry at least half this ensemble is gone now. The audience here probably had no idea what they'd just witnessed...thanks for posting!
Allen Blasco Spot on Allen. The “forest’ of these great Jazz-talents are surely thinning out rather fast. It was the very best of Jazz times. Dig & Cheers!
Brings back memories of when I was in the US army, Chicago Illinois ,I went to the best places to find this kind of what I love, im 81yrs now and will forever love this music
There is the beat, the groove, nothing but the immense power of that insistent beat. Add the fine tone, taste, skill, ideas and character of the artists in communion, well., that's it!.
Always a buzz when either Jimmy comin' to Scullers, Regattabar and Boston/Cambridge area clubs.. 1369 Jazz Club would annually have weeklong "organ orgy" : McGriff, Smth, Holmes, Patterson, Lonnie- a different legend every night. Very special indeed.
Grew up listening to Jimmy Smith, Bro. Jack McDuff and the likes of others. Had the privileged to perform this kinda stuff with Clifford Scott and the Scottans, Haines City, Florida. On a good night, Professor Ronald G. Coleman would assemble some of his students, and perform! Thank You for the experience (Clifford, Matt, Curt,Jimmy, Snooky, Larry, Sparkman and Coleman)
There was a Jazz dive on Washington Blvd & La Brea in LA where many of these same cats would groove... 'The Parisian Room... 'now a US Post Office Ray Charles Station
I really enjoy seeing these playing really good music, also they look so nice in their tuxes , no shredded clothing, todays musicians should watch the old masters and learn stage presence..
This is great music ! I grew up listening to this when my aunts & uncles came over for the holidays they would laugh dance get drunk and have a good time and nobody ever got SHOT. Peace to everyone.
It’s not just our parents music it’s our legacy and we need to uphold it and extend it
I still play this music but it's rare to find other like minded musicians in my town
I’d kill for his alto tone. That fine blues line between singing and wailing...so great.
Groove and a sauntering stride. Rhythmic flow and. Pulse

Great solo Mr. Devos. Perfect in every sense. Execution, tone, bluesy…..it couldn’t have been done any better!
Try Count Basie and Joe Williams.
@@charlescharles9625 The Count I love. Unfortunately, I could never appreciate Joe. Trust me, I’ve tried!
You played amazing stuff on this Bob. Such a groove and then unleashing the bop beast at just the right moments. Chef’s kiss!
Thanks so much, Mike! BTW I loved playing with these guys.
Oh what a great quality of music. It mesmerizes me. Think of the Good old days
Way to go Bob. Great group and you play so well.

Quite possibly the greatest Hammond organist who has ever lived.
Enrico Crivellaro
I think Jimmy smith is the best. Closely followed by Jimmy mcgriff
Enrico Crivellaro not by a long shot (Jimmy Smith).
McGriff considered himself to be the greatest blues organist, which I would agree with. He had a lot of admiration for Jimmy Smith.

THE GROOVE!
In the pocket... jimmy covering Hammond with his left and piano with his right. Awesome!
And pedals 😊
This really swings well - great guitarist too! Love the guitar solo - so well developed - masterful.

This is hot and sweet. It moves me. Great to see My Man on piano!. And Hank Crawford is no joke! I listen to this and I feel good all over.
Amen!

My ears get happy when real players start having fun. And these guys are tops.
Wow- rare version with added treat of Jimmy's tasty piano work- sweet.
It doesn't get any better than this.
More than half of the population of the world disagrees with you.
It's tough to be musically self confident. Most people disagree with you.
Impeccable. Say no more!
I can't imagine the jam sessions in haven with so many great musicians there such as Jimmy, Miles, Ray Brown and Ray Charles, to just name a few, as well as the heavenly host. Wow !!! Too much to think about, brain overload.
FANTASTIC, unbelievable
WOW with a capital WOW

Incredible. Love that tasty guitarist…never heard the name, but a new fan!
Fabulous!
Great solo, Bob. You always sounded great when we were on the road together too. Glad you're still swinging.
Thanks so much, George. You were always one of my heroes back then
Beautiful guitar solo. Great tone and restraint then swingin' hard Jack.
Yes. Yes. Yes. A new name for me. But holy moly, the cat can swing.
@@GlenMcGlone Same with me. I’ve never heard of him but dang! I sure will looking for more. Talk about “TASTY!!”

@@RobertVeasquez He’s in some of the comments on this video.
@@GlenMcGlone Well thank God I edited another post where some weird software changed his name to something..well, I fixed it....Whew!
Great rendition of this blues classic - Bob DeVos's guitar play really shines!
Hank Crawford agrees!
he's got that Lollar pickup!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
@@pertburton5586 Sorry, I never had the opportunity to play with James Brown but I wish I had.
@@tpledger100 Those pickups are made by Tom Doyle. I now use Lindy Fralin.
Love both Jimmies! They and Richard Groove Holmes and booker T. Jones are the finest organists! Thanks for posting.
don't forget about Bill Dogget, mate

The Pure definition of "Sweet Soul Music. Easy to lose the blues with this "sufferin"' music. It is to LOVE. ! ! !
Without a doubt he was in the top three for great organists! Thanks for posting.
I never knew Hank was That good. Great sound
Hank really sends me, man !..as do they all.
Discovered Jimmy McGriff in the early Seventies and have been a fan ever since. Love this. Thanks, guys!

I used to see Bob DeVos play guitar all the time at Wallace's in Orange NJ a Joint we all loved and I played in a lot too..I loved his playing..
Thanks so much TJ. I always dug playing at Wallace's too. So sad to pass by it and see it closed down.
Bob.? Hey you're a great tasteful player..yes those were great days I heard of Michael's passing and Frank's sometime after moving to Woodstock..
