JIMMY SMITH FEAT. KENNY BURRELL live in Vienne 1993

[@msaintpc]

Midnight Special sounds a lot like Miles Davis' "Bluesette". In the 1960s in Los Angeles me and Bail Bondsman 'Tommy Tucker', owned an after hours joint named 'Dupree's'. these guys sometimes dropped by after their gigs and played for free with the local talent sitting in. It was a wonderful time to be young and alive in L.A.

[@pharmerdavid1432]

How I wish to have been a few years older, growing up there, but to young for that great era. I got the "UK invasion" led by the Beatles instead, so-called "music" Orwell warned us would be dumbed-down. I think Jimmy Smith once said something like "rock isn't real music"........

[@thommccarthy1139]

Fuckin awesome concert. These guys still sound as good here as they did in the 50s and 60s. Many of their contemporaries had moved on to neo-celtic flute fusion at this point and lost the hip sound.

[@bensonidonije6433]

The combination of Jimmy Smith and Kenny Burrell is that of two blues giants

[@DonaldRoberts-zy1cj]

When the blues introduces it's bloom, Jimmy Smth shows up. Kenny said I'll go, but it don't mean a thing , if it ain't got swing. Two bands two giants,two ways at looking at things, two much time not to do soul . Love even i cant prove it.😊swing

Such great Jazz music! I got see & hear Jimmy Smith perform in the late 1980s. He was often performing in Columbus, Ohio. We have a couple summertime festivals, along our river front. They created a smaller venue, where the audience could sit as close as 4 feet away from the action. It was awesome to be that close. I'd been listening to Jimmy since the early 1970s, when I was in college. I own many of his record albums. My friends were into Rock music, and I wasn't, I was always a fan of Jazz. My other favorite group was The Ramsey Lewis Trio, who I also got to see live in Cleveland, Ohio and in Columbus, Ohio.

[@podsash]

I saw Jimmy in Columbus at the old major chord… 1986. Great show.

Effectivement, Grady Tate, quel fantastique batteur! Il est ici aussi subtil et swinguant que l'était Donald Bailey quelques 30 ans plus tôt.

[@dennisp3314]

Not forgotten by me !

[@jamesperry2322]

@@dennisp3314 Grady Tate's career mostly focused on his fantastic studio work for Creed Taylor in the '60's, with Jimmy Smith, Wes Montgomery and other jazz greats associated with Verve and CTI Records at that time......but he also alternated with Ed Shaughnessy with the Tonight Show Orchestra. A master of subtlety and taste. And oh yeah...he could swing with the best of them!

[@oneworld9071]

WHAT a TREASURE this is...... THANK you!!!! Having lived in the Baltimore-Annapolis region from early 60's on, I wish I'd have had the chance to see Jimmy on any of his numerous Baltimore gigs. However, among Baltimore's numerous world-class musicians, we have Greg Hatza :) My father was a legendary bassist; a keyboardist he'd played with for decades had left his Hammond B3/Leslie at our house for about a year. I'd spend hours exploring its unique universe of sounds, amazed that from on/off switches (the keys) so much expression could be squeezed from it :) In my own band I had a B3 master...... on one gig I was really happy to be wearing sunglasses. This cat played some powerful gospel on a Sade medley that triggered tears. I eased back behind him and said "don't EVER play that again, I'll kill ya cuz ya just killed ME!!!!". He beamed with well-deserved pride. Seriously, the B3 and mastery of it requires absolute love and dedication.

If this show is not on CD then there is a very similar one, same band lineup except with Stanley Turrentine on saxophone. Almost the same song list and same vibe.....it was recorded in a club live, just four veteran jazz players swinging some tunes and great blues, like Chicken Shack, etc. The CD is titled "Fourmost Return". I keep a cody in my car CD player for jamming along with on road trips......48 year pro harmonica player.

Jimmy Smith was a legend jazz organist ! No other organist came close!❤😊

[@ianbuxton1730]

Well he might have INVENTED Hammond organ playing in the "modern jazz" mode of musical expression -- by far the BEST genre in my humble opinion!! -- but inventors seldom produce the most brilliant modifications (improvisations in the case of jazz ) later on. This is surely the case in all fields of human endeavour: James Clerk Maxwell worked out the laws of classical dynamic, but he certainly DIDN'T, later on, invent the cellphone!! IMO the most exciting Hammond organ solos ever generated can be found on the track: FINGER LICKIN GOOD, an organ duet between Jimmy McGRIFF and the superbly straightahead Groove Holmes.

[@jamesperry2322]

Obviously, you are not as big of a Jimmy Smith fan as you would lead us to believe. Jimmy's utterances were as key to his performances as Errol Garner's were to his. Jazz is not just merely instrumental purity...but the vocal "grunts" and "groans" you are so annoyed by, are the artist's emotions channeled into the improvisations themselves!

[@davewray9909]

@@jamesperry2322 And you're obviously not as across the sympathetic vocalisation phenomena as you'd have us believe. Why no mention of Keith Jarrett?...(FO).

Why did they have to keep the mic open on the grunts... would have been so much slicker without it.. seems like they wanted to amplify that so much they even had feedback coming in from turning it up so loud...

[@User-r9k4b]

😅

[@oldestgamer]

Good stuff, but why is there a mic up by Jimmy? He's not singing, and his grunting is most unmusical. I have seen this a number of times, what is up with these pianists (and especially Jarrett) grunting and moaning during the performance?

[@goodgugamuga]

Sounds like he's keeping the key because it's the same pitch.

[@grantmunson6198]

i think hes getting into the zone and probably doesnt give a fuck lol

[@robertsaleem3276]

All I can say is "Then you don't know Jimmy Smith" if you think he's not being musical. Do you think Louis Armstrong could " sing"?

@@robertsaleem3276 Pops could sing a heck of a lot better than Jimmy could dream of singing!

He obviously does this unconsciously when he plays, the fault lies with the sound people, mute the mic when he's not making announcements, that's what you get paid for...

NBA -- what does it stand for (besides Nat. B-ball Assoc.)? Answer: "Never Broke Again." (Get signed on any of 30 teams and receive a contract for a million $.) So how well do we treat musicians--even guitar players? (Acoustic pianos are disappearing, from a week-end jobber's perspectiv.e). A couple of months ago Kenny Burrell was on GoFundMe, trying to raise fmoney for some his recent critical medical procedures. This is the busy-est, most in-demand guitar player in the history of jazz, if not on the planet! His hundreds of albums, under many different leaders, begin in the early '50s and extend to the present. Jazz is disappearing--along with music that uses things like chords, melody notes, and time signatures. (NBA music mostly rap and hip-hop.)

[@theotheranswer]

No it isn't. Seek and you shall find great Jazz... It's alive and as healthy + diverse as ever

[@planetarykidz]

It is sad that some of the greatest musical talents struggle to make ends meet and especially deal with medical costs. Hoping Mr Burrell can manage through it. I met him in his office when he was professor of Ethnomusicology at UCLA and we had an extended chat about music and Detroit (where we both are from); he is a fine person too
