    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 These soulful sounds will never be outdated and only get better with time.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.”

      The private members-only exclusive 'city dinner clubs' in many towns, limited to only-by-invitation membership and adhering to formal dress code, - maintained the "classy" ambience into the late '70s & beyond. The one in our hometown decayed & fizzled when they lost their many-decade lease in the downtown high-rise. To folks who didn't meet the min. income requirement or had no local bus. connections it would be dismissed as "just a snob place for rich people". But that was only 30% true. Most folks there were very disarmingly down-to-earth and enjoyed fabulous gourmet food and drink, candid family gatherings and pleasant dinner music. Businessmen used it to grease the wheels of their negotiations, and it was a very sexy place to take a date if you wanted your memorable wine & dine experience. It was pure magic to be there as a tiny 6 yr. old in 1967, the days you're perhaps remembering. Piano bar music in dining room/s included.

    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!

      It's foolish to characterize the musical affinity of a. Musician moreover any organist as better or best as it is a false. Or adjunct comparison to state music is a bit more. Deep than competition and stats. The artform is replete with nuanced. And varied life improving and validating aspects
      Of cathartic wisdom introspection into the vast repository of knowledge within the subconscious we know things that might otherwise never surface or occur
      Anyway in short a musical rhythm and l. Body of sound is a conduit for the radical energies of people to be culminated iinto an exponentially growing and solidifying wave of. Good energy. If you ebb and flow. In the groove not too aggressive nor apathetic allow the music to tell you when to. Push or allow the law of music to. Breathe and eventually even a novice can learn this. Simply by playing integrally and then pause to let the muses inform the magic
      I laugh at people who make such. Asinine comparison.
      There are actually multitudes of. Dynamite organ virtuoso in our world nowadays but all are almost for sure influenced by Jimmy
