I discovered Jimmy Smith in the vinyl library on the Yokosuka NB, back in the late 60s. I wanted to learn jazz organ, but it was one of the few things my parents adamantly refused: looking back, I think it was probably because they didn’t want me involved in the heroin/jazz crowd. I ended up a church organist, but still listen to Jimmy Smith on Spotify.

He did some outstanding work with guitarist Wes Montgomery. Like this one:

I was enthralled with Jimmy Smith when he started getting airplay. I got one of his albums and tried to wear it out. He was one of the roots of my interest in playing bass.

Spent many an evening learning learning Kenny Burrell lines.

I have “The Cat” album by Smith, with big band arrangements by Lalo Schifrin. Some great jazz/blues music.

As a kid I used to repeatedly listen to my mother's Jimmy Smith albums. I did and still do love the sound of it. The brilliance of Jimmy Smith was incorporating pop type melodies and jazz.

Which organ had a separate box for a turning horn?
