Hammond Organ B-3000 B-3

Here’s a rare TV performance from Jimmy Smith, the man who turned the Hammond B-3 organ into a force of nature. With his left hand walking the bass, his right hand firing off bluesy runs, and the Leslie speaker spinning, Smith transformed the jazz landscape and set the standard for soul-jazz. Every phrase in this clip is a masterclass—swinging, grooving, and electrifying the room with that unmistakable Hammond fire. | Jazz Foundation of America
