[@johnsons1812]

The incredible Jimmy Smith and the fantastic Jimmy McGriff!!!!

[@jacqueshogge1608]

I agree

[@wraitheful]

twin 3’s with these masters is actually, truly mind-blowing.

[@Crezelltree4261]

Jimmy Smith was sometimes a hard smack-talking man but his mastery of the Hammond organ cannot be denied.It was he that inspired Keith Emerson to take up the instrument.The rest is musical history.

[@rodmanpactacrbryant]

yes you are right !!!!!!

[@Daring2Win]

I'm sorry, i don't get the point. Who is Keith Emerson? I'll search it, but i thought I'd ask the source of the comment to clarify. Did he revolutionize Jazz beyond Jimmy? I'm just starting to take an interest in Jazz organ after hiding in the church my whole life.

[@jameslujack1717]

They inspired me to play jazz organ on a b3..1972.

[@garys8990]

Me as well. I still like to wail on my 1963 B-3!

[@MichelBENEBIG]

A very, very important and historical vidéo-doc. THE MASTERS !...

[@jims6875]

Holy cow, that was so good! Jimmy Smith seemed totally on fire with his riffs...like extra-inspired by playing with another B3 master. His 1962 version of . 'Walk on the Wild Side'. is why I decided to play organ (with Leslie's) at 13yo. In Seattle for the summer of the world's fair '62, it was the first jazz album I' d ever heard. Played it 10 times a day. Then, 35 years later, had the good luck to see him live at the Iridium in NY mid-90s. Fantastic! So, it is with life-long appreciation that this video moves me so much. Thank you JohnT. for a pure B3 delight!! Best I've seen.

I wonder about the Hammond backline in Switzerland. I saw Joey twice while living there nearly 2 decades, and maybe he was on one of the these.

This is the day the hammond organ died. Period.

[@Wally-H]

I disagree. There are some great players still around keeping it very much alive.

[@lerpack455]

l was first turned on to Billy Peston’s - The Most Exciting Organ Ever in ‘67 album which l could understand. Smith’s jazz l did not understand for many years but intrigued me. But also look at Booker T and then Brian Auger and English Mike Carr. Later Chester Thompson....... all of them - shivers down my back bone! l got to see Jimmy McGriff at Ronnie Scott’s in 2002? - Pure beauty.
