Everyday I Have The Blues - Jimmy McGriff & Hank Crawford Quartet

[@davidhoover3407]

I want to don a suit and go to a restaurant with an elegantly dressed woman, drink old fashioneds and listen to this music. Call me Don Draper. While only a child, I have fond memories of the sophistication of the 60’s. This was the soundtrack.

[@byronderksen3339]

You're in the groove Jackson 😎

[@harry2928]

The private members-only exclusive 'city dinner clubs' in many towns, limited to only-by-invitation membership and adhering to formal dress code, - maintained the "classy" ambience into the late '70s & beyond. The one in our hometown decayed & fizzled when they lost their many-decade lease in the downtown high-rise. To folks who didn't meet the min. income requirement or had no local bus. connections it would be dismissed as "just a snob place for rich people". But that was only 30% true. Most folks there were very disarmingly down-to-earth and enjoyed fabulous gourmet food and drink, candid family gatherings and pleasant dinner music. Businessmen used it to grease the wheels of their negotiations, and it was a very sexy place to take a date if you wanted your memorable wine & dine experience. It was pure magic to be there as a tiny 6 yr. old in 1967, the days you're perhaps remembering. Piano bar music in dining room/s included.

I’d kill for his alto tone. That fine blues line between singing and wailing...so great.

[@ronaldunkel2681]

Nothing matches these days. The Groove, the Funk, the Jazzy Greasy-Beat is no more! One of the very best B-3/Alto groups playing their hearts and soul out! And then the very elegantly drumming by Jimmie Smith pushing it swingingly along! These 4 Giants are by far the best. Just great stuff, so Dig folks, Enjoy & Cheers to these fabulous Jazz artists!

[@gordonmarsh7980]

[@janetbernard3747]

It just doesn’t get any better than this group of amazing jazz musicians. These soulful sounds will never be outdated and only get better with time. Too bad most of today’s generation of young people have no clue as to what REAL music sounds like. However, using their language, this bluesy jazz is “dope.”

[@MrRobert4wd]

I don't need drugs or alcohol. I can get high drift off listening to this kind of music.

[@enricocrivellaro]

This is incredible. Mc Griff playing Count Basie on the piano and kicking incredible bass at the same time on the B3. So much class. I used to see him often in California...dynamics, swing, feel, he had it all. Quite possibly the greatest Hammond organist who has ever lived.

[@josecabeleira1955]

Enrico Crivellaro

[@Mohammed-pb1ct]

I think Jimmy smith is the best. Closely followed by Jimmy mcgriff

[@ambroseconstantine8920]

Enrico Crivellaro not by a long shot (Jimmy Smith).

[@gittar08]

McGriff considered himself to be the greatest blues organist, which I would agree with. He had a lot of admiration for Jimmy Smith.

[@WeAreNotAmused]

It's foolish to characterize the musical affinity of a. Musician moreover any organist as better or best as it is a false. Or adjunct comparison to state music is a bit more. Deep than competition and stats. The artform is replete with nuanced. And varied life improving and validating aspects Of cathartic wisdom introspection into the vast repository of knowledge within the subconscious we know things that might otherwise never surface or occur Anyway in short a musical rhythm and l. Body of sound is a conduit for the radical energies of people to be culminated iinto an exponentially growing and solidifying wave of. Good energy. If you ebb and flow. In the groove not too aggressive nor apathetic allow the music to tell you when to. Push or allow the law of music to. Breathe and eventually even a novice can learn this. Simply by playing integrally and then pause to let the muses inform the magic I laugh at people who make such. Asinine comparison. There are actually multitudes of. Dynamite organ virtuoso in our world nowadays but all are almost for sure influenced by Jimmy Joey d'francesco Lonnie smith John medeski Barbara dennerlein TheHe organ demands to be played

[@WeAreNotAmused]

Groove and a sauntering stride. Rhythmic flow and. Pulse

Great solo Mr. Devos. Perfect in every sense. Execution, tone, bluesy…..it couldn’t have been done any better!

[@allenblasco8157]

EVERYONE in this group is STELLAR! The chemistry and "groovilisity" among the musicians is audibly palpable. Crawford and McGriff have been musical heroes forever, but I was taken to school on drummer Jimmy Smith. Don't know where guitarist Bob DeVos came from, but that guy's a keeper! So sorry at least half this ensemble is gone now. The audience here probably had no idea what they'd just witnessed...thanks for posting!
