Jazz Icons: Jimmy Smith boasts an incredible 90-minute concert from 1969 filmed in Paris. Working in his classic trio format (with longtime guitarist Eddie McFadden and drummer Charlie Crosby), Jimmy shows why he is still the uncontested king of the jazz organ. Highlights include blues jams Got My Mojo Working and Sonnymoon For Two, the classic ballads Alfie and Satin Doll, as well as a blinding 23-minute version of his showcase number The Sermon.

yeh he started so much it wasnt so much of a catch the wave thing as a freakin tsunami heard round the world.see, in '69 after Riverside he started pretty famous road gigs after stellar tv appearances which since I knew him-he liked but were too limited,too confining. so he took it on the road successfully.and he was a true genius:all the time u could see him tryin to almost hold back that creativity and expressivity he was bursting with. too bad this clip ends too soon.
