PLEASE people ALWAYS list the musicians when you put music up on RU-vid or anywhere--please--OK? Thank you. Jimmy Smith - Organ Mark Whitfield - Guitar Byron Moore - Bass Dowell Davis - Drums
As someone pointed out this is one of the last concerts he did before his death. I give the man credit -he went out the way a great musician should playing to the end.
There was nobody better on the organ than Jimmy Smith ( RIP ). A very special musician. We will always remember him and his Hammond music. Thanks for all the great music.
hard to admit I've listened and enjoyed jazz since my teens in the '60's..not too much into that progressive jazz but this melo style is the bomb. my grandson has picked up the trumpet, trombone and drums...talk about making my heart sing....lm so happy. the music of today is not in my opinion mysic, just kids making money. but l guess its better than the alternative. long live the Jazz community.
back when musicians didn't get in each other's way... back when melody connected with funk, music that you felt before you even knew what was going on. Amazing
And back when we still had these vinyls and could que them again and again. Then of course decades passed and we moved a couple times and the LP's disappeared?!? :-(
My Old Man HAD Jimmy Smith's Walk On The Wild Side LP...... This HERE is the KING of Hammond B3 Organ.... Wonder IF Greg Rollie of Santana Fame listened to Mr. Smith......
Guitarist building that carpet.... Jimmy's riding down the ally behind the Watermelon Man... horse and cart... direct from the wholesale market...they each had their own distinctive calls & chants... you could name their content from inside your house. Some guys were selling fish and soft shell crabs too.
This is a year B4 Jimmy passed on..I met him walking down the street one day about 4PM in Las Vegas, downtown area..He said, "HI there..He invited Me to His Party that night..I didnt have a babysitter so I did not go..Who knows we may have fallen 4 each other..I regret I did not go see Him..
Please, remind the bass player to read his part before starting to play: it's a sort of respect to Dizzy, to Jimmy, to the rest of the band, and to the public.
@@dspiffy Sorry you got butt hurt , and yes the truth hurts. Watermelon Man is a blues variation ( 16 bars ) F7, Bb7 and C7 thats it. If you dont know what youre talking about, you should go on a newbie music forum and learn basic music theory. Maybe Byron wasnt feeling well that evening, but he sure was off the track.
