Midnight Special sounds a lot like Miles Davis' "Bluesette". In the 1960s in Los Angeles me and Bail Bondsman 'Tommy Tucker', owned an after hours joint named 'Dupree's'. these guys sometimes dropped by after their gigs and played for free with the local talent sitting in. It was a wonderful time to be young and alive in L.A.

How I wish to have been a few years older, growing up there, but to young for that great era. I got the "UK invasion" led by the Beatles instead, so-called "music" Orwell warned us would be dumbed-down. I think Jimmy Smith once said something like "rock isn't real music"........

Fuckin awesome concert. These guys still sound as good here as they did in the 50s and 60s. Many of their contemporaries had moved on to neo-celtic flute fusion at this point and lost the hip sound.

The combination of Jimmy Smith and Kenny Burrell is that of two blues giants

When the blues introduces it's bloom, Jimmy Smth shows up. Kenny said I'll go, but it don't mean a thing , if it ain't got swing. Two bands two giants,two ways at looking at things, two much time not to do soul . Love even i cant prove it.😊swing

WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC''YEA BOI🤩🤩🤩

Mr. KB is such a great jazz guitarist, always plays with creativity & class. ❤️😎🌎

Quelle habilité à l'orgue et quel talent ! Je ne crois pas commettre un sacrilège en comparant Jimmy Smith à Jean-Sébastien Bach. Bien sûr chacun reste maître dans son domaine de compétences !

Comme le temps passe et cette musique n'a pas pris une seule ride !

I am blessed to have seen Jimmy play in Munich in the mid 80s. Live, and amazing.

WHAT a TREASURE this is...... THANK you!!!! Having lived in the Baltimore-Annapolis region from early 60's on, I wish I'd have had the chance to see Jimmy on any of his numerous Baltimore gigs. However, among Baltimore's numerous world-class musicians, we have Greg Hatza :) My father was a legendary bassist; a keyboardist he'd played with for decades had left his Hammond B3/Leslie at our house for about a year. I'd spend hours exploring its unique universe of sounds, amazed that from on/off switches (the keys) so much expression could be squeezed from it :) In my own band I had a B3 master...... on one gig I was really happy to be wearing sunglasses. This cat played some powerful gospel on a Sade medley that triggered tears. I eased back behind him and said "don't EVER play that again, I'll kill ya cuz ya just killed ME!!!!". He beamed with well-deserved pride. Seriously, the B3 and mastery of it requires absolute love and dedication.

If this show is not on CD then there is a very similar one, same band lineup except with Stanley Turrentine on saxophone. Almost the same song list and same vibe.....it was recorded in a club live, just four veteran jazz players swinging some tunes and great blues, like Chicken Shack, etc. The CD is titled "Fourmost Return". I keep a cody in my car CD player for jamming along with on road trips......48 year pro harmonica player.

As you know, the great Jon Lord of Deep Purple played the b-3 Hammond 4 years... kicked all rock n roll ass and then somemore!!.... but doees he measure up to this kind of playing?? I jyst do not know....

Zycos au top prise de vue médiocre son de qualité 😉

Why did they have to keep the mic open on the grunts... would have been so much slicker without it.. seems like they wanted to amplify that so much they even had feedback coming in from turning it up so loud...

Good stuff, but why is there a mic up by Jimmy? He's not singing, and his grunting is most unmusical. I have seen this a number of times, what is up with these pianists (and especially Jarrett) grunting and moaning during the performance?

NBA -- what does it stand for (besides Nat. B-ball Assoc.)? Answer: "Never Broke Again." (Get signed on any of 30 teams and receive a contract for a million $.) So how well do we treat musicians--even guitar players? (Acoustic pianos are disappearing, from a week-end jobber's perspectiv.e). A couple of months ago Kenny Burrell was on GoFundMe, trying to raise fmoney for some his recent critical medical procedures. This is the busy-est, most in-demand guitar player in the history of jazz, if not on the planet! His hundreds of albums, under many different leaders, begin in the early '50s and extend to the present. Jazz is disappearing--along with music that uses things like chords, melody notes, and time signatures. (NBA music mostly rap and hip-hop.)

It is sad that some of the greatest musical talents struggle to make ends meet and especially deal with medical costs. Hoping Mr Burrell can manage through it. I met him in his office when he was professor of Ethnomusicology at UCLA and we had an extended chat about music and Detroit (where we both are from); he is a fine person too
