FANTASTIC drum solo!

[doingthisthingofours]

you see,into 2000+,here he continued the road thing, and he knew very well that as we say in the biz"The Road Will Kill You." But no no no, Jimmy NEVER failed on the road, just kept gettin better:he did cruises, world appearances and played with the constellation of jazz legends-and he was true thru the end. 4evah. DYNOmite drums... Jimmy would give guys like u and Jimmy Jackson their cameos on the road, and all I can say is in the immemorial words of Diz:"You tore'm UP, baby." like uh woooow

Who is the guitarist?

[muzikaal19]

@VojtikG

my answer is a bit late perhaps , but the guitarist is Mark Whitfield, an outstanding player! see more of him on u-tube

for instance the newportbeach jazz festival!

I would like to thank you for the compliment. It was a fun tour and Jimmy is very much missed.

Well, George-I spotted this video for the great Jimmy Smith's playing, but I'll have to say that you had a jammin' solo on this tune!

Le drummer pourrait s'habiller correctement. Jimmy Smith a toujours incarné une certaine élégance. L'autre est d'une grande vulgarité

[JayIvory87]

what an awesome trio!!!

[crocksberlin]

He was one of the reasons why i started playing drums. The other reasons: Art Blackey and Clifford Brown....

[Thegatemaster24]

And I agree with you 100% and I am very fortunate to be the drummer on that clip to be able to say I had the honor and the privilege in working with the great Jimmy Smith before he passed on. Truly an experience I will not forget and cherish.
