Jimmy Smith w. Kenny Burrell - Organ Grinder's Swing - 1993

[@ladykitt10]

I was born with a jazz soul. Some of my first records were female jazz singers..watched Jimmy Smith in a club in LA when I was 19.

[@MusicManMarlin]

Long LIve The King of the Hammond B3, and lets not forget Kenny Burrell, Love this

[@rayflowers9529]

There can be no end to the kudos apparent for Mr. Grady Tate. So many drummers have patterned their play and sticking, Hi Hat and just down right kool play to Grady's style. Thank you Mr. Tate!!!

[@ldognz]

Such beautiful music and it swings:)

[@roland395]

This is what jazz and organ playing is about

[@groovedoc]

i love to dance to jazz music and i although get every single note while dancing, maybe cause i studied music and have very good ears but i think every one should be able to this, if he trys first switching back and forth attention between movig and listening and then more and more melt it togehter to one "broader" attention, where the body dances from himself and you can enjoy music at the same time completly as if you were sitting and only listening

[@joeycigar63]

It just doesn't get much better than this...miss you Jimmy!!

[@baddrikamendis7100]

Listened from the 60's to you Jimmy. Bless you for the swing and music Bless you

[@rudbeckie1]

Prima!!!!!!! Díky!

[@billock]

In '68 I played bass at Paschal's La Carousel @ Hunter St. in ATL. We'd play 3 wks & big names played the 4th wk. J Smith cooked for a week! Billy Hart was drummer- can't remember guitar but a monster! Jazz Festival week in ATL & the club was full of stars: Miles, Ramsey Lewis, Hubert Laws (then w/Mongo Santamaria) & others dropped in. A great time to be a musician in ATL in spite of unrest that summer.. The club was an oasis - all colors mixed, mingled & "worshiped" in the "church of jazz!"

[@JonMargolis]

one of my favorite songs for the last 50+ years. Grady really swings. Thanks for posting!

[@dingoswamphead]

Amazing the new feelings that great musicians can continue to discover in such a simple format as the blues. Thanks.

[@gregfowler957]

I got into jimmy smith early 80s when I was a mod still a fan now fantastic musician and what a great Hammond sound

[@rtw1313]

I've never listened to Jimmy Smith and not felt happier afterwords. I wish I could have told him that in person. He and Kenny seem to nail it every time. Thanks for posting!

[@RubensEduardodeOliveiraRubao]

Jimmy Smith.Adoro

[@KRxN11]

Excellence/artistry/magic/transcendence!!!Timeless!!!

[@kathylavernestewart]

fabulous thank you

[@stenakisalexis]

1950jimbei i agree with you so much............

[@1950jimbei]

I've been hooked on Jimmy & Kenny playing together since their 1972 New Port Jam Session.

[@tornspeedo]

WOW JIMMY! OMG!! And full agreement with the tone post Superfuzzymama, A GREAT STOCK late model B-3 and 122 RVs. Nothing can match it when they're right. What a sweet growl it has.

[@SSINHA700]

awesome band, with grady tate and kenny burrell - it just doesn't get better than that - there is a wonderful cd too "fourmost return"

[@jitterbug1able]

Thank you so so much everyone 😊😊😊

[@robertellison4691]

Never heard of Herman Riley before, but he got my attention on this song. He really smokes on sax.

[@stevezurier]

The sense of swing and phrasing can't be beat!!!

[@rayflowers9529]

I caught the trio, Jimmy, Kenny, and Grady at the AG Gaston Motor Hotel in Birmingham, Alabama. It was an all black happening but Ray was escorted to the table at the front of the club and I have to say most graciously. It has never left my mind how wonderfully the three of those guys played together. Well, being a drummer, Grady left me breathless. That does not take away from Kenny and Jimmy. So F^&*()ing HOT!!!

[@harsszeg]

I had the chance to play with him at Atlanta'S Late addition Jazzclub in 1992.He played on Fender rhodes and he played with One finger for 2 minutes and EVERYBODY was dancing in the room!

[@organham]

This is the mannnnnn, he started this Hammond thing!!!!!!!

[@jazzvec]

kenny - excelent choice of tones (as always).

[@spadge1able]

really very cool & unique.what a swinger top draw music.

[@superblop27]

Totally Solid-Sending FAB !!

[@michelleparolierpanet5994]

The best organ swing whith jimmy smith

[@Jonathan-L]

Watch what Jimmy Smith is doing at 0:40 ... he's gazing around the audience to check that everyone in the room is either stomping their foot, slapping their thigh, nodding their head or snapping their fingers. These jazz legends really know how to connect with the audience.

[@jayhtee1974]

Great vid from a stage of true masters!!

[@Ouellette1978]

This is nice post, great musicians to say the least...

[@MrGotac]

Organ stumper. Thanks.

[@GrantchesterMeadows]

Thanks for this, a real treat

[@constantXconstrain]

Ah oui m6 passait de la musique à une époque, je devais être trop jeune. BTW, groove sans relâche et une des rares occasions d'entendre et de voir Kenny Burrell en live. Pas une note de trop, son sens légendaire de la ponctuation...

[@Bebopflea]

I love Jimmie and Kenny! amazing duo!

[@minoustudio]

great, thanks!

[@thechallengeresponse]

Awesome!

[@RicoJazz]

mr. grady tate is a master of the drums

[@robertellison4691]

Great blues/jazz arrangement. The sax solo is fantastic Plays 3 choruses and builds is just right with just the exact amount of blues phrases versus jazz lines.

[@gprosser11]

Jimmy and Kenny Organ Grinder Swing ..enjoy ..

[@sunshine_burn7208]

all HAIL Jimmy Smith!!!

[@Pahedwin]

Nice and cool for the evening-music

[@bobbywatley]

You guys said it all. Jimmy Smith was a bad muther fu yuh.

[@imbees2]

Good lord!!!!!

[@garyguitar]

JS was the wildest and to me the most talented B-3 player, Kenny is great too. Their Blue Note albums were killer.

[@bobkay6050]

check out McGriff ''Keep Loose-1968 version. SHEESH ! ! !

[@JoeIzzo]

Jimmy Smith! Grady Tate on drums

[@1950jimbei]

Yes, you're absolutely right. Jazz "was" dance music. Jazz grew out of it long time ago. You can also think about the difference between rock'n'roll and (art) rock.

[@katheryncagep9525]

[@Harry-zc8rg]

Kenny's tone is perfect. Fat, warm, bit of sizzle.

[@88sublunaire]

C'est une impression ou il 4 bras et autant de jambes?Incroyable!

[@spadge1able]

real groovy man

[@roberth8308]

The only time I saw Jimmy Smith was at the Apollo back in the 60s with Duke Ellington on the bill. Quite a show.... for $2.50.

[@1950jimbei]

I'm impressed you can pay attention to every single note while dancing. You must be a genius. Well, let me quote what I wrote about musical geniuses to one of my KZbin friends some time ago.

[@1950jimbei]

Jazz can be dance music but it is mostly music to listen to. You can and should shake, swing or sway to the music whether sitting or standing, but once you start dancing, you become self conscious of how you're dancing and try to dance as much in style as you can. Thus your concentration shifts from listening to dancing. You may still be able to concentrate on the rhythm, but you're not really listening to the melody, chords or tones, let alone delicate notes and many other musical intricacies.

[@giovannibulgari]

fuuuckkkk jimmy!!! YES! Does anyone have hobson's hop?

[@bobkay6050]

Jimmy Smith pedals too but when the camera shows keyboards it's pretty obvious that Jimmy's using left hand on the lower keyboard; so i have to wonder.

[@kawanie]

[@colingoodall7719]

Swing Cats! Wonderful :)

[@RubensEduardodeOliveiraRubao]

[@bobkay6050]

Groove Holmes ''Living-Soul-1966'' for great pedal-work.

[@JHelak]

Jimmy Smith and those great Blue Note recordings defined "Funk". I always thought he brought out the best in guys like Burrell as well.

[@taildragger53]

@Exposethefrauds Absolutely the way i see it. So much music lacks FEEL, emotion and sensuality,.SWING basically. Blues has be the sensual basis for Jazz and many musicians today just can't interpret Blues and tend to complicate it into mathematical "chamber music".

[@SIRONEDRAGON]

cool : )

[@danides1]

@taildragger51 he's 81 in july :)

[@bobkay6050]

I thought Goove Holmes was a great pedal-player but i see that Jimmy Smith is too ! ! !

[@chalone2]

talk about your all-star casts!!

[@lescrompton6346]

LISTEN TO THE GAPS NOT THE NOTES THATS WHY THESE MUSICIANS WERE SO GOOD .MILES DAVIS .HAD IT

[@ergbudster3333]

Economical. Sparse. Roomy. Yeah, that's it. Roomy. Lotsa room for other voices and other views.

[@1950jimbei]

Simultaneous interpreters are different from plain multilingualists. The latter can shift from one language to another, but cannot really think, listen or speak in 2 different languages in a fraction of time which can be regarded as "simultaneous". Simultaneous interpreters and a few truly genius musicians can get different regions of their brains to work on 2 different things at the same time. I think Jarret becomes a listener as a separate/total entity while his alter ego plays the piano.

[@DYNODRUM]

gRADY'S THE gRAVVY -HERE AND THERE,great Drummer.......&

[@johnnylance]

What was that starting at 3:42?? That's what I'm talking about!!

[@ozguitar50]

love it ! is there a video of this concert available ?

[@juju36000]

The full concert is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5-4oYiLityesM0

[@1950jimbei]

Pls read your own comment again, and you'll find it self-contradictory. Jazz is not rock'n'roll or disco music. Well, blues are closer to rock'n'roll, but basically narrative, so you still have to listen. I have the same attitude in listening to music whether listening to CDs/LPs or in concerts. Yes, what I do is LISTENING. It's the main thing. You seem to be a likable chap, and I'm happy for you that you had such an irresistible distraction at the blues fest. Cheers!

[@bobkay6050]

I agree with ALL about Smith. But don't forget about the monster speed-demon in his younger days == Jimmy McGRIFF.

[@stenakisalexis]

when you listen to jazz this which have to dance is you soul not your body

[@johnnyirvine]

god bless you jimmy smith. you make me want to cut off my fingers.

[@1950jimbei]

You don't have to split this way when you scat in unison with your guitar. What Jarret does must be a totally different brain activity. I mentioned fantastic fill-ins by Chick Corea; I suppose more than one different phrases, chords and even rhythms are ringing in his brain simultaneously and he can take whichever is the best suited at each moment. It's said that Wes Montgomery could engage in chat while playing, but I suppose this kind of ability is most likely to develop in pianists

[@JackOrion0670]

Peanut butter and jelly, beer and pizza, baseball and hot dogs, teenage girls and mini skirts, B-3 and guitar, you know the rest.

[@organham]

Most organist just sit there and play,no movement or expression.Thats not the case with Jimmy Smith and Dr. Lonnie Smith.They dance on the organ bench, not to mention the happy facial expressions!!

[@theHellzaPoppinjazz4u]

:D

[@nelvayabar9956]

[@1950jimbei]

because their right and left hands continuously do different (though related) jobs. (In that sense, Stanley Jordan is again "exceptional".) You know, hand use is closely connected with the brain. I wish I could go further, talking about the right and left hemispheres of the brain. But since I'm a layman about the subject, I think I should stop here.> groovedoc, pls don't expect ordinary people to be able to do what only geniuses can do. I wish I could see you dancing beautifully to Coltrane.
