Jimmie Smith LIVE "The Cat"

Live in Music City: Jimmie Smith plays Jimmy Smith "The Cat"

[@markielinhart]

THE MASTER‼️ they broke the mould when they made this guy ✌️🌻🇦🇺

[@miguelbezerra7955]

Nothing today, sounds like this!! It makes the soul float! and just can't stop moving together

[@brucemartinlager6553]

The first time I ever heard this tune was when I was back in grade school (early 70's). Our school had a local jazz combo come in to expose us to different kinds of music. I never, even after all these years was able to get "The Cat" out of my head...biggest ear worm ever! I have always believed that this song started my on my path to becoming a professional singer/songwriter/guitar player.

[@Belchmaster41]

Bruce, correct me if I'm wrong, but if I had to bet: this track opens up on the D Major chord

[@johnhylton6361]

There is nothing, anywhere in the world of music, that can beat the sound of a well played Hammond/Leslie......nothing.....period.

[@garys8990]

You took the words out of my mouth! I love playing my B-3. My Hammond Keyboards are a hit wherever I play.

[@911naimplate]

Growing up in a Household with my father who is a WW2 Vet, I was exposed to this music at a very young age. The quality of this video is good given the age. I still have a original pressing of "The Cat" album in my collection. So glad that today's generation is also discovering vinyl, my kids now in their mid-late 20's act like they just discovered electricity. If you like Piano BTW pull up some Eubie Blake, clearly one of the great pianists of all time. Having both Jimmy and Eubie in your organ and piano collection will keep you young and happy forever. 😎

[@stixkubwa]

Wow. Just great. Super groove from the drummer too.

[@nikolaibalykov4312]

What a joy to watch and listen! Thanks for sharing.

[@dorothyorr1537]

THE greatest organ player in the WORLD the Hammond was made for Jimmy .. he is totally and utterly amazing, .. wow

[@Hatzornik1]

Only Jimmy Smith can play JImmy Smith

[@Belchmaster41]

actually, on a similar video, he's joined by Jim Alfredson on the Hammond B3

[@garys8990]

Great song and group! Love the Hammond Organist!! Thanks for posting.

[@user-mt5ht8rw6q]

There were others but Jimmy was the main man bringing the B3 from the church to the jazz clubs and influenced so many music genres in doing so. Thank you, Jimmy! Nothing sounds like the 1930's tone wheel. Thank you, Laurens Hammond.

[@mangotango3434]

Horn section, drums bass and lead guitarist sounds Amazing!

[@Belchmaster41]

if I had to bet, correct me if I'm wrong, but I bet this track opens on the DM7 (D Major7th) chord

this recording is remarkably clean with good mixing, powerful horns, clean organ and percussion. Got a really good playback system? Yamaha AS-3000 driving Klipsch Horns with servo bass....? START 0:29.

O hell yeah, Jimmy an I go back PF. first time 4 me, Jimmy was w/ Don Gardner

[@patrickpartridge5350]

This cat can play. Can't deny him that. Horns are a nice edition and he uses the fast mode on the Leslie that Jimmy didn't. Everyone that plays this song plays it their own way

[@brianralph5036]

are there 2 jimmy smith's?

Jimmie Smith or Jimmy Smith - both great to listen to.

Is this fellow calling himself Jimmy Smith? He's not the original Jimmy- show biz is a racket-

This is Jimmie Smith, and the name of the album is "Jimmie Smith plays Jimmy Smith

Отличная музыкальная композиция, да еще, ТАК МАСТЕРСКИ ИСПОЛНЕННАЯ! Браво!!!

[@OrlandoLirbe]

Very very good !!!

[@mpeckster]

Saw him live at Leo's Casino. Will never forget it.

[@RyanKirk99]

Jimmie is hot on the organ, but I play the drums, and will probably have to watch this video again several times so I can learn a few things. So tight!

[@greenfroth]

Let’s be clear, this guy is good but born 40 years after Jimmy Smith !

[@bluest1524]

I don't think that's Jimmy Smith.

[@planetmullins]

Nice!

[@mrgooakalegooster]

Are ou Guys out of your mind????? This is not Jimmy Smith! The Master died the 4 / 8 / 2005 at 79! It's JIMMIE Smith!

[@mikeaustin4138]

Amen! This guy's good, but his style is much less funky than Jimmy Smith and, of course, he doesn't look at all like Jimmy Smith.

Just reading "the scent of death" by Simon Beckett and they talked bout this Song during a Car ride. So I found some, for me new Music I like lol Strange Way to find Music, what would we do without the Internet, can't really remember these Times. If you are interested in Thriller and Forensics, try Simon Beckett, but start with the first of the David Hunter Serie . Would be cool if you would find a Book you like through Jimmy Smith 😁 Have a nice Day everybody .

Samuel Beckett is a much better author tho.

Who's that guy ??? Not THE Jimmy Smith I knew !

[@woodwardavenuerecords6011]

Its Jimmie Smith playing Jimmy Smith. Both great players.

[@farleytaylor5493]

That's not Jimmy Smith, they are playing one of his hits.

[@woodwardavenuerecords6011]

Its Jimmie Smith plays Jimmy Smith. Check out the album.

[@baddriddimworkshop]

nice but aint nothin like jimmy smith, he played in a way less "scholar" or "clean way. Jimmy sounded rough, this guy sounds like a studio player...

[@williammackay8287]

[@danielgrollimund8231]

Jimmy Smith died in 2005..😔

[@thomaspick4123]

Jimmy would not share his registrations. But, people figured it out by trial and error. Great clip, with horns. The Hammond sk2 in the background was not around when Jimmy was alive. The playing sounds okay, but Jimmy put on a lot of weight.

[@wdilks]

beware...not Jimmy Smith, the accepted father of jazz organ.

[@pieinher67]

That's not Jimmy. There is one Jimmy. But I really did Dig your Command of the Hammond. Don't look down Brother. Don't look Back. Just Go, Go+Go. I just played your Cat to my 2 year old Daughter. Ravi from London in Australia

[@user-bk7gd4dh5z]

" Это не он ".

[@inmyopinion9917]

That's not the real (original) Jimmy Smith. The names are spelled differently, the sound is different, and they don't look alike. This guy spells his name "Jimmie". The Jimmy Smith of the 50's, 60's, and 70's spelled his name "Jimmy". If you compare this guy to pictures of the original Jimmy Smith you can clearly see that they are not the same person. He's stolen the Jimmy Smith persona. 😕😕

[@jonathanveenker6981]

Yeah, this gentleman does a fine job on the organ. But he is absolutely, nowhere even close to the famous Jimmy Smith. He should really think about trading under a name that won't always invite comparisons

[@woodwardavenuerecords6011]

This is Jimmie Smith, and the name of the album is "Jimmie Smith plays Jimmy Smith

[@giancarloballanti5183]

Filmato falso. Al minuto 2:26 si sentono risposte corali della sezione fiati.... e contemporaneamente, si vede bene nel video che la sezione fiati non sta suonando. Questo filmato non è Live. Questo è Playback!!!!

[@normanspurgeon5324]

I think English is still in use- why call this Jimmie Smith when it's not? this player is fine- why not use his name?

Not a dying sound to those who know great music.

Its like a good B*B*Q, Bear down on the meat and ease off the potato salad.

Nope ! Not close the real Jimmy

He totally misses the true thema. It’s a shame, when you are in so good conditions….

[@fredmasey]

Well-l-l, maybe this guy's name is Jimmy Smith but this is not THE REAL Jimmy Smith! His fingering is not nearly as crisp and same soul as the genuine article is simply not there. If you're going to do a cover, say so ... don't just hijack everything including the name.

[@madkeysfilms]

Not the original Jimmy Smith…good but certainly not as proficient as The Master himself. Bass -player not left hand/pedals…..Is this his son?

A very very average organ player if that.

Doesn’t sound anything like Jimmy Smith

That’s not THE Jimmy Smith…this guy is a mere amateur compared to the real deal.

[@yingyang6080]

This guy is good, but for sure he is not Jimmy Smith. Can u provide his real name ?

[@rychmccain3832]

This is NOT Jimmy Smith. He's not even playing the theme right to the cat. His licks don't even compare to the real late Smith.
