I agree w U Randy G. JOS was "THE GREATEST B3 PLAYER THAT EVER LIVED". I'm 61yrs. Old. I learned how to play a B3 by listening to him just about all the time. Why I say he's great is 'cause he is unique. He doesn't copy from anyone! Everyone copies off him. He has a certain style that can easily be identified. I could pic him out of 100 B3 players. I could go on!!!!'nnn
Jimmy Smith on the B3 is so cool for me to watch because it gives me a view into a greatness of musical technique and intelligence that I'll never reach, but at least I get to see it. it's so cool Randy Green
When YOU CAN'T SIT DOWN" came out, I thought it featured UPCHURCH" on the BIG HAMMOND B3! Couldn't thing it wasn't, or he couldn't have merged with JIMMY SMITH!
Jimmy was an incredibly talented keyboardist - just watch the way his fingers fly over the keys, starting at 0:52! And, all the while dripping with the blues!
When we met Phil Upchurch at the Concerts By The Sea, he said he learned a lot from Jimmy Smith.Only by watching and listening to Jimmy"s chords, solos and grest bass line can you appreciate such great talent! Will never get over this great man!
Jimmy Smith came along on 1954 just as Hammond was unveiling the B3 organ. Music was never the same! Smith really spawned soul/jazz and inspired so many disciples.
