This is timeless. These were two of my father's favourite artists and, eventually, became two of mine. I grew up with this music and whenever I listen to it, it makes me think of my father. Amazing, just amazing

I sure love Hank Crawford & Jimmy McGriff! John Phillips

Hank was the best and so soulful. You feel his sax thru and thru.

He was a nice guy. He had an album cover wearing a brown hat. I begged him for it to no avail. Met him at the York club with Etta James in Los Angeles.

jimmy and hank , HALL OF FAMERS , 2 of the best , the entire group is soooo solid !

Great Sound🎉😮🎉

For those of you that inquired, Jimmy is playing the bass line with his left hand and left foot. There is no tracking, a live performance. Almost all great organists play that way.

Thank you Mr DEVOS B THOMAS YONKERS NY

Jimmy is still one of my favorite organists and I try to use some of his style when I'm on the Hammond Organ. Band sounds great. thanks for posting.

Bob in my humble opinion you are quite an underrated jazz guitarist. Thanks for your inspiration!

Love Jimmy's playing so much ...A great band too on that vidéo !...

^Bob- I love your playing !!!!

I've heard all the greatest B3 players including Jimmy Smith who was born in my hometown.Jimmy McGriff was the funkiest of all of them.

You must have had only one Jazz organ selection in the record store with one or two Jimmy McGriff albums filling the rack. I think McGriff is great too but he just has to assume his position in the great pantheon of various style Jazz organists of his time and thereafter; some better and some not as good but certainly distinctive with their own styles. (1) Jimmy Smith (2) Richard Groove Holmes (3) Brother Jack McDuff (4) Don Patterson (5) Big John Patton (6) Charles Earland. Then the next generation of power houses and lesser knowns, (6) Joey DeFranchesca (7) Frank Edwards (8) Walter Thornton, (9) Billy Holliman (10) Bobby Lyle... I know it's few I must apologize that I have missed.

@@brotherrap1722 Agree, there are lot of great players but just a preference, McGriff is my favorite.

This is so good it sends CHILLS up and down my spine. Fortunately I had the good sense to catch them live in 1982 @ The Back Alley Bistro in L.A. One of the truly magical evenings of my listening career.

Hank Crawford just looks like he's always just enjoying to be playing... love him... DeVos, McGriff and company just click on this. Thanks for posting...

Thanks for posting. Awe man, this is so good. I love to listen to a lot of jazz organ players (JSmith, JMcDuff, LSmith, etc) but to my ears, Jimmy McGriff is my favorite. Something about his approach and style, not sure exactly what but his playing just sounds good to me...

I can Jam with Jimmy McGriff all day n nite!

They groove so hard in that fine, understated way. So good. And that wicked Hammond organ sound!

I really apreciate! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

There are organists with more technical facility, but when I hear some classically funky greasy material, it's always Jimmy. My favorite.

This is what I like more than almost anything. Lose the tuxes, maybe. This music is life grease: smooths out the rough spots.

Mr M has got his Mojo Workin' on this B3 Classic!!!

I like the saxophone in the music soul , funk and jazz , Hank Crawford also love soul music !

He was just so good....just made an arrangment on "for once in my life" based loosely on Jimmys arr, got many records with him, kudos!

Thank you All 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Love the that Jazz

Bought a few of his LPs this last year after buying just about everything Jimmy Smith put out. This cat can kick the pedals and lay down the groove. Not sure what model Hammond that might be, but it's not an M, B or C. Nice sax work and drums, but this Bob DeVos can play! If I didn't know better, I'd say there is some Robben Ford in the mix.

I can see why they picked that guitarist . He plays with a lot of soul and killer riff in the right place. Hank Crawford is really a great player.

Right on. Though many would not consider this organ for ‘gigging’….(( ‘French Hammond A102’ meaning wood cabinet is in ‘French Provincial style’ ( but the inside is same as the A model’ with amp and internal speakers ) Apart from this, it is in a different cabinet to the C3 & B3 )) It is a wonderful looking cabinet for the ‘home’. When Hammond designed the selection of styled cabinets, they were true masters of design. Beautifully proportioned.

@@lerpack455 It is the same electronically as an A100, and also the same as a B3 or C3 with the addition of loudspeakers and amplification. The only differences are, the A100 has a bit of extra bass boost in built into the preamplifier, and or course a spring reverb.

Don’t forget that the Hammond organ was a handmade instrument, all sound different from each other and the production year will also affect. Hammond had always often introduced little modification over the years. The last produces organs sound for example brighter and more aggressive comparing to the early units. The sound depends also how you play the instrument, chords, notes…, a little bit like an acoustic instrument!

@DandyDon1

@@dle1081 Later models are aggressive you say? Apparently you haven't heard the sound of an ear-burning model A Hammond. Since the Model B3/C3 is now roughly 68 Years old, no one has heard a newly manufactured Hammond B3/C3 first manufactured in October of 1954 (Introduction date). The technology in the capacitors used through out the instrument (pre-amplifier and tone generator filtering) improved drastically with the advent of film capacitors verses paper. The same is said for Hammond tone cabinets and Leslie speakers. Age dulls the sound of the electronics.

Oowwee! A talking organ.

De boy dem bust up de boogie - one time!

At first thought they had a bass man!! It sound like Jimmy McGriff is better than Jimmy Smith and Dr. Lonnie Smith! Have never heard bass on a Hammond this good.McGriff learned will from the great J. Smith..What great music.

McGriff is my favorite- his blend of jazz, soul, blues, gospel is unique. Check out his arrangement of "Lift Every Voice" (Praise song and anthem of the movement..)

@sativamorning no, organists usually play bass lines on a pedalboard with their feet.

😀💛🌱🌷

No, gittar was right. With the proper syncopation the combination of left hand bass accentuated by the foot pedals creates a string bass like attack. Jimmy Smith was especially known for this but this technique is practiced by many greats like Joey DeFrancesco, Groove Holmes and Lonnie Liston Smith.
