The Incredible Jimmy Smith on the Hammond B3 Organ. “Organ Grinders Swing”

The absolute Groove Master…My Dad used to play Jimmy’s records around the house when I was growing up, we saw him live numerous times. The guy was the embodiment of groove and soul, I’ve never heard such emotion emanating from a set of electrified keys like that…RIP Jimmy.
