Hey!
After listening and looking at at least 1,000 songs played by Jimmy Smith beside being the best jazz organist to date ,that is to my hearing.His chords and harmony are soft jazz like Bill Evans.He does not have that hard sound like Coltrane,Davis or Parker.You can listen for a long time and enjoy.
Does anyone out there Agree?

@bobjazz11 Cucusoft is the best one that I have found so far. Do you know of anyone who sells Hammond organs I am from Ohio and if so what would I look up to see? Love this guy and great video

@2dasimmons Yes but they are all different genres completely even within Jazz people have no idea on the outset what style of music they play. I'm just sayin' this song is quite Jazzy

@OPETHLURVE Blues, Jazz, Gospel, Rock-n-Roll or Funk, it's just a variation on the same theme: African-American music. Depending on the tempo, and of course the musician, the Blues can become Jazz and Jazz can be Blues. Black music is THE music that has influenced ALL American music with Jazz being the goodwill ambassador around the world. What a blessing for America to have had this spirit-filled music and the people who created it.



I understand you guys have all heard the classic record of this song by Jimmy on studio (Verve)march 1962,Oliver Nelson's orchestra.Barry Galbraith(g),ed shaugnessy(d), etc. This record (cd)is the absolute and supreme expression of a beatitude. There's a whole orchestra preparation for Jimmy's entrance; a tremendous introduction with the bass (george duvivier), drums, percussion, etc. No clips for this event though- (for our ears only). It's a must.
