I had taken organ lessons from age 9, but when I heard my first Jimmy Smith record I realized that the instrument was SO much different than I had imagined! He changed my life and I still have a Hammond B-3 in my man-cave, 50 years later. Greatest instrument ever made and its greatest player.

Not long before Jimmy died I went to see him (again) at the Jazz Cafe in London. I was standing right at the front to watch his footwork. The stage was only about 2 feet high. After the first number, as the applause faded he looked down on me and said to me and my partner, who was treating me for my birthday, "Hey, you two little kids? " I looked around and indeed, the crowd behind us all seemed giants. I'm only 5 5 and gf 5 3. Quick as a flash I said, "Jimmy, I first saw you play the Hammond in 1966. I'm no kid. Thanks for the compliment." He grunted. "Where was that gig?" "Birmingham Town hall." " Bad sound." he said. Indeed, the guitar was miced through the pa. It was all out of balance. He remembered it too!.

At a musical instrument industry show (NAMM) in Chicago in the mid-80s, I was among a cluster of fellow mid-20s keyboard players watching Jimmy demonstrate some German electric keyboard. He noticed us and when done playing he walked over and with a big smile shook hands with each of us. We were speechless. Still beaming he said, “So YOU’re the guys who’ve been stealing my licks!” We all laughed.

19:20 - Jimmy’s incredibly long, skinny fingers gave him a significant mechanical advantage when playing a B3. Unlike all electrified keyboards of the time - no digital instruments like synthesizers came along until the 80s - only the Hammond with its unique and patented tone wheel generators produced an actual analog sound. Its unique and naturalistic voice gave its player the ability to play effective legato solos, strings of single notes like a horn player, with an intrinsic “attack” that rivaled the tonality and percussive power of wind instruments. But it was not until a virtuoso like Jimmy came along and exploited its potential that the Hammond’s unique sound made it a fixture in recording studios around the world.

I agree with that. The operatic (retarded) or menacing voice of an organ has no place outside a fine arts venue or church. You can thank WurliTzer for dropping acid, and bragging, "oh look how great this is. You've got to hear this haunting, melancholy shit." I'm an organ hater, but find a lot of Jimmy's material irresistible. Like many, I did not know an electric organ could sound like that. Experimentation. Go beyond the retarded gibberish (opera) and screaming (hard rock/metal). Pick up some books, experiment, and learn.

The documentary (90') was shot by Klaus Wildenhahn, a german filmmaker in the Sixties, produced by NDR (Hamburg, Germany), who supposedly is the owner of the rights. The KZread version is distributed by Deutsche Kinemathek Berlin.

Shorter version of the original full lenght docu. As an Austrian (German language area) I must say: the German moderation is just embarrassing.

Was meinen Sie mit "Moderation"? Klaus Wildenhahns spärlichen, manchmal unbeholfenen Kommentar? Damals sah man die Jazzszene in den USA mit anderen Augen. Seien wir doch froh, dass Wildenhahn diesen Film in den 60ern überhaupt gemacht u. dies wichtige Dokument hinterlassen hat.

@@maltheseus Von mir aus unbeholfene Kommentare. Leider gar nicht spärlich. Zudem auch aus Sicht der 1960er Jahre peinliche Versuche, gewisse Jazz-eigene Begriffe und Ausdrucksweisen "einzudeutschen". Der Film selbst ist auch ohne den hier fehlenden Teil im RVG-Studio interessant, aber der Herr Filmemacher hätte besser das Kommentieren an jemand Kompetenten delegiert.

Not sure I understand the purpose of the race baiter in this documentary. Would have preferred to see the genius of this man. Mr Jimmy Smith.

I agree with that. The operatic (retarded) or menacing voice of an organ has no place outside a fine arts venue or church. You can thank WurliTzer for dropping acid, and bragging, "oh look how great this is. You've got to hear this haunting, melancholy shit." I'm an organ hater, but find a lot of Jimmy's material irresistible. Like many, I did not know an electric organ could sound like that. Experimentation. Go beyond the retarded gibberish (opera) and screaming (hard rock/metal). Pick up some books, experiment, and learn.
Loved Jimmy but he was dead wrong about the Beatles.
