The Incredible Jimmy Smith in one of his best performances. Since I have discovered it in 1964, it always arouses in me the same emotion. In our parties in Florence, we used to play this music, minimizing the lights, when the bodies were starting to be tired and senses to awaken squeezing girlfriends. No voices voices, but deep sighs from time to time

I was fortunate enough to play with a great guitarist that was in Jimmy's performing group. He and Jimmy both lived in Sacramento, so it's not out of the ordinary to have that opportunity, since I live in Reno, a hundred or so miles West of here. When someone says they played with a star like Jimmy Smith, they very well might be telling the truth.

Elmir, the guitarist is actually Mark Whitfield. Jimmy played a lot with Phil Upchurch, but on this session it's Whitfield. The give away, other than that fluid rapid style and guitar tucked up high like that, is Upchurch had his trademark grey hair flair at the front. Compare Mark's live stuff, a super icon in his own right, which is why he's up there with Jimmy and the boys!

Jimmy Smith, the all-time master of the Hammond organ. Don't forget too that besides finessing both manuals of the organ he also provided all his own bass lines on the pedals and he was brilliant at that too. I still get thrills listening to his walking bass on "When I Grow Too Old To Dream" from the "Back At the Chicken Shack" LP.
