Very sweet. So different than the one with Kenny and Grady in '65.

@paulj0557 - I always had a hard time deciding which one I liked better. I have a McGriff album with him playing a Roland XB 2 - no match for the B3. Being a bass player, I can't comment from my own playing experience but having played in several bands with B3s and one with an M3 - there just is nothing, IMHO, that can match a B3 played through a pair of Leslies. I've heard some keyboards that come close but none that can equal it. Univox made a good one and Kurtzweil (sp?) - come to mind..

@Gruvdigger I think they did, but for some reason I remembering an old album with McGriff on one side and Smith on the other. Not uncommon back then, or now for that matter, to put artists music on one album. I always liked McGriff better, but then you witness this Jimmy Smith playing and you think it doesn't get any better- the Master! I Played A100 (B3 w/ spkrs) & Leslie 122 for about 6 years, but then discovered the Wurlitzer electrostatic reed organ, love 4410! Get free-reed

not enough said about Eddie Mc Fadden, it takes a special guitar player to work organist. Eddie Mc Fadden, Kenny Burrell, Mel Sparks, even the great Wes Montgomery missed the mark playing with Jimmy.

Great performance by the master. Jimmy McGriff was another fav of mine. Did the two of them ever play together?
