30 MINUTES of Jimmy Smith LIVE in '65!

The BBC studio audience (who were allowed to SMOKE in those days) gave him just "polite" applause – which threw Jimmy OFF a bit (watch his face after the second number, in which he'd just given it all he HAD!) But when I saw him in England, in the early Nineties, THAT audience were more enthusiastic! Me and my Lady were down front-centre and when Jimmy let rip with "The Cat" they ERUPTED! A memorable night, during which I stroked Jimmy's organ – I mean the HAMMOND!!!

   Kenny Burrell was a good friend with Jimmy. And he played good too.

   btw, the look he gave the audience was priceless! Perhaps a “polite” Karate chop to the neck was in order for the non-appreciative.

   if I couldn’t see him I would have thought it was Grant Green, the tone, the vocabulary, even the comping
