◄ Jimmy Smith ☼ Watermelon Man Live in Germany 2004 ♫ youtube original

[@dorothyorr1537]

A GENIOUS A tragic loss , he literally launched the Hammond, his beautiful keyboard skills were special ... R.I.P great master of the keyboard

[@MrRafaelec]

Never stop. Jimmy must be funking in Paradise.

[@JesusChrist5000]

The bass player is putting out some well placed notes, very tasteful and artistic

[@chadoulichadouli4647]

You never stop listening to jimmy .he’s sensational

[@timtremblay8601]

Nobody hammered a Hammond like this man~! R.I.P.

[@georgechase3275]

I still have a few albums I bought of him from back in the late 60's !

[@Navroze]

can never ever get enough of Jimmy Smith

[@Andersen22915]

The boss! Even in old age you see the young Jimmy come shining through. The old recordings with Jimmy playing bass !! Love it

[@Andersen22915]

Lovely to see the other fantastic muscians aswell!! Am used to seeing Jimmy playing bass with left hand and pedal ;)

[@mikemedina490]

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.

[@Popzzology]

the guitarist is outstanding what a groovey tune

He is Mark Whitfield.

[@rodneycroes3209]

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.

[@rfh1234]

Check out Joe Defranchesco

[@mirazusta2002]

Check also Richard Groove Holmes, Charles Earland, George Duke, and Billy Preston. They are all top notch.

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.

[@DiegoooTech]

Jimmy Smith. My all times favourite. Amazing. Thanks for all the wonderfull music.

[@GrahamDyson-h9z]

This piece of music used to intrigue me as a youth. Only the opening of the piece was ever played on the 'Money Programme', & so I later pursued the source to 'The Cat' by Jimmy Smith. It's a Great Album as a whole, & if you like this style of 'Big Band's arrangement, I'd Highly recommend it !

[@brianjwright581]

I always remember a great evening at The Jazz Cafe in Camden London on the 21st February 2000.

[@ramblinginmeath4950]

I was at that gig… so so memorable especially as I grew up on Jimmy Smiths music - back in the good old days of Vinyl

[@bobbly7132]

Smith and McGriff--the world's two greatest Jimmies and Masters of the Hammond B3!

[@petersusstrunk9262]

dont forget Barbara Dennerlein!!

[@travelingman9763]

Saw both same band at Northsea! Calvin Keyes on guitar. He played sole and exceeded both in applause.

This is not Geroge G. on drums, but Dowell Davis.

[@erdwest]

Jimmy Smith has been a big part of my life since the 50's. Small's Paradise where he played such great jazz

[@radiokid2]

Great guitar solo!

[@robertking8585]

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

[@johnsunde4339]

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?!? :-(

[@sandrakincade1300]

[@robkuiters]

I have nothing with watermelons, but my cat loves this tune, and so do I...............🐈‍⬛

[@mirazusta2002]

And I do, too. If you haven't done already, I recommend you to check the video in which Herbie Hancock tells Elvis Costelo where did he get inspiration for this great tune. Cheers!

[@toneyam3643]

Jimmy's smoking and the young blood on guitar is killing it.

[@88sublunaire]

De la pure frappe Mr Smith. Le groove fait homme!

[@paulmcgovern6660]

I know nothing about jazz, though I like it. But, I can definitely hear Water Melons splashing about in here. This is brilliant craft.

[@abirdthatflew]

Jimmy, always ahead of the beat. Don't know of any jazz musician who thought as fast outside of Art Tatum, and possibly Gary Burton in his prime.

[@calgarywino]

Oscar Peterson was up there too.

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.
