The first time I ever heard this tune was when I was back in grade school (early 70's). Our school had a local jazz combo come in to expose us to different kinds of music. I never, even after all these years was able to get "The Cat" out of my head...biggest ear worm ever! I have always believed that this song started my on my path to becoming a professional singer/songwriter/guitar player.
There were others but Jimmy was the main man bringing the B3 from the church to the jazz clubs and influenced so many music genres in doing so. Thank you, Jimmy! Nothing sounds like the 1930's tone wheel. Thank you, Laurens Hammond.
Growing up in a Household with my father who is a WW2 Vet, I was exposed to this music at a very young age. The quality of this video is good given the age. I still have a original pressing of "The Cat" album in my collection. So glad that today's generation is also discovering vinyl, my kids now in their mid-late 20's act like they just discovered electricity. If you like Piano BTW pull up some Eubie Blake, clearly one of the great pianists of all time. Having both Jimmy and Eubie in your organ and piano collection will keep you young and happy forever. 😎
Woodward Avenue Records I do thank you for this groovin' Hammond Jazz live untitled The Cat with Jimmie Smith and friends musicians.•'**☆ ╰⊰🕺 🎼💖 ♪ ♫ 🎸🎷 🎻🎹🎺🌺🎧🎼🎩🎩🎩✿¸.•'**☆ ╰⊰✿💖♪
this recording is remarkably clean with good mixing, powerful horns, clean organ and percussion. Got a really good playback system? Yamaha AS-3000 driving Klipsch Horns with servo bass....? START 0:29.
Jimmie is hot on the organ, but I play the drums, and will probably have to watch this video again several times so I can learn a few things. So tight!
Эту музыку слушала моя мама,когда ей было 27,сейчас ей 81,я нашла эту композицию,она слушала и плакала...музыка - самое мощное искусство,жаль что оно не может остановить войны...
Que maravilha de som, que arranjo.Muito obrigado por postar esta maravilha.Sou Samuel, aqui da zona leste, do município de São Paulo, hoje é 24 de dezembro de 2019, terça-feira.
This cat can play. Can't deny him that. Horns are a nice edition and he uses the fast mode on the Leslie that Jimmy didn't. Everyone that plays this song plays it their own way
I am not familiar with this relatively new artist Jimmie Smith. I remember the original Jimmy Smith rocking the Hammond B3 back in the day. Woodward Avenue Records was founded several years after the original Jimmy Smith passed.
Jimmy would not share his registrations. But, people figured it out by trial and error. Great clip, with horns. The Hammond sk2 in the background was not around when Jimmy was alive. The playing sounds okay, but Jimmy put on a lot of weight.
Just reading "the scent of death" by Simon Beckett and they talked bout this Song during a Car ride. So I found some, for me new Music I like lol Strange Way to find Music, what would we do without the Internet, can't really remember these Times. If you are interested in Thriller and Forensics, try Simon Beckett, but start with the first of the David Hunter Serie . Would be cool if you would find a Book you like through Jimmy Smith 😁 Have a nice Day everybody .
That's not Jimmy. There is one Jimmy. But I really did Dig your Command of the Hammond. Don't look down Brother. Don't look Back. Just Go, Go+Go. I just played your Cat to my 2 year old Daughter. Ravi from London in Australia
That's not the real (original) Jimmy Smith. The names are spelled differently, the sound is different, and they don't look alike. This guy spells his name "Jimmie". The Jimmy Smith of the 50's, 60's, and 70's spelled his name "Jimmy". If you compare this guy to pictures of the original Jimmy Smith you can clearly see that they are not the same person. He's stolen the Jimmy Smith persona. 😕😕
Yeah, this gentleman does a fine job on the organ. But he is absolutely, nowhere even close to the famous Jimmy Smith. He should really think about trading under a name that won't always invite comparisons
Filmato falso. Al minuto 1:33 e 2:26 si sentono risposte corali della sezione fiati.... e contemporaneamente, si vede bene nel video che la sezione fiati non sta assolutamente suonando. Questo filmato non è Live.
Well-l-l, maybe this guy's name is Jimmy Smith but this is not THE REAL Jimmy Smith! His fingering is not nearly as crisp and same soul as the genuine article is simply not there. If you're going to do a cover, say so ... don't just hijack everything including the name.
Nothing today, sounds like this!! It makes the soul float! and just can't stop moving together
There is nothing, anywhere in the world of music, that can beat the sound of a well played Hammond/Leslie......nothing.....period.
You took the words out of my mouth! I love playing my B-3. My Hammond Keyboards are a hit wherever I play.

Bruce, correct me if I'm wrong, but if I had to bet: this track opens up on the D Major chord

You do realize that this isn't the jimmy smith you think, right!? It's another Jimmy Smith, playing og Jimmy Smith stuff 😊
What a joy to watch and listen! Thanks for sharing.
THE MASTER‼️ they broke the mould when they made this guy ✌️🌻🇦🇺
Best version I've heard of this song without a doubt!!!!!!
Wow. Just great. Super groove from the drummer too.
THE greatest organ player in the WORLD the Hammond was made for Jimmy .. he is totally and utterly amazing, .. wow
Great song and group! Love the Hammond Organist!! Thanks for posting.

very well played. And excellent quality sound too.
Horn section, drums bass and lead guitarist sounds Amazing!
if I had to bet, correct me if I'm wrong, but I bet this track opens on the DM7 (D Major7th) chord
@@Belchmaster41 mmmm
Pppp
Only Jimmy Smith can play JImmy Smith
actually, on a similar video, he's joined by Jim Alfredson on the Hammond B3
Are ou Guys out of your mind????? This is not Jimmy Smith! The Master died the 4 / 8 / 2005 at 79! It's JIMMIE Smith!
Amen! This guy's good, but his style is much less funky than Jimmy Smith and, of course, he doesn't look at all like Jimmy Smith.
Chicken shak???
Jimmie is hot on the organ, but I play the drums, and will probably have to watch this video again several times so I can learn a few things. So tight!
Jimmie Smith, Jimmy Smith and I've got a friend named Jimmy Smyth.
Joking aside, this is a real deal! Jimmie can play just lake Jimmy. What a find!
Il nome Smith e l'organo Hammond sono sempre una certezza ! Grazie Jimmie . Dd

The (LATE Jimmy Smith. Was good when he performed. Outstanding player..
Jimmy Smith the incredible "Jimmy" no replacement for him, playing a Hammond B3 Organ like no bodies business.
This cat can play. Can't deny him that. Horns are a nice edition and he uses the fast mode on the Leslie that Jimmy didn't.
Everyone that plays this song plays it their own way
are there 2 jimmy smith's?
@@brianralph5036 one is spelled like Jimmie - the other one ends in Y
This ain't Jimmy Smith!!!
Jimmie Smith or Jimmy Smith - both great to listen to.
Is this fellow calling himself Jimmy Smith? He's not the original Jimmy- show biz is a racket-
This is Jimmie Smith, and the name of the album is "Jimmie Smith plays Jimmy Smith
Jimmy Smith the great organist the legend
That's one cool cat jazz! Listen to that Hammond take off!
still love his music!!
Nothing and nobody can beat the original......!!!
Wooow the JAZZ LEGEND OF ALL TIME MR JIMMY SMITH
This is NOT(!!!) Jimmy Smith!
Keith Emerson was inspired to start playing the Hammond organ because of Jimmy Smith.Need I say more?
fantastic thank you
Beautiful interpretation 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Que som! É pra toda vida. Como gosto deste som.Inesquecivel!!!
Saw him live at Leo's Casino. Will never forget it.
SENSACIONAL,la musica habla por si sola.Que gran musico.
Flipping Awesome
Very very good !!!
My first B-3 idol
To great for words❤❤❤👏👏👏👏
Nice!
Let’s be clear, this guy is good but born 40 years after Jimmy Smith !
Отличная музыкальная композиция, да еще, ТАК МАСТЕРСКИ ИСПОЛНЕННАЯ! Браво!!!
I don't think that's Jimmy Smith.
Yes his name is Jimmie Smith
@@jamesjohnson1984 Well he's a wonderful player, whoever it is. You're probably right. Just looked different to me.
Not “the Jimmy Smith”. Organist icon Smith swings much harder, better tastier grooves, and all while playing the bass line with his left hand.
very well......................................................
I am not familiar with this relatively new artist Jimmie Smith. I remember the original Jimmy Smith rocking the Hammond B3 back in the day. Woodward Avenue Records was founded several years after the original Jimmy Smith passed.
Awesome
tres belle interpretation
Smoking!!!!!
easylook but technical and exiting, amasing!
The real Jimmy rarely used the fast speed on the leslie. Mostly slow and off
Jimmy would not share his registrations. But, people figured it out by trial and error. Great clip, with horns. The Hammond sk2 in the background was not around when Jimmy was alive. The playing sounds okay, but Jimmy put on a lot of weight.
that A100 Hammond in a BC case sounds fantastic
This jimmy likes 2 let the Leslie. Spin. In fast mode.
He is pretty good but.im a huge jimmy Smith listener since I was a young boy
This is almost like Jimmy Smith!!!
Great drummer...🙂
Grand father
Damn. I cannot control my feet.
Just reading "the scent of death" by Simon Beckett and they talked bout this Song during a Car ride. So I found some, for me new Music I like lol
Strange Way to find Music, what would we do without the Internet, can't really remember these Times.
If you are interested in Thriller and Forensics, try Simon Beckett, but start with the first of the David Hunter Serie .
Would be cool if you would find a Book you like through Jimmy Smith 😁 Have a nice Day everybody .
Samuel Beckett is a much better author tho.
Who's that guy ??? Not THE Jimmy Smith I knew !
Its Jimmie Smith playing Jimmy Smith. Both great players.
Fora de Série 👍👍🎵👍👍🎵
❤
nice but aint nothin like jimmy smith, he played in a way less "scholar" or "clean way. Jimmy sounded rough, this guy sounds like a studio player...
Sou Brasileiro e curto o som dele got my mojo workin
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Que maravilla
That's not Jimmy. There is one Jimmy. But I really did Dig your Command of the Hammond. Don't look down Brother. Don't look Back. Just Go, Go+Go. I just played your Cat to my 2 year old Daughter.
Ravi from London in Australia

Wow thanks opening up Juneth 2024
That's not Jimmy Smith, they are playing one of his hits.
Its Jimmie Smith plays Jimmy Smith. Check out the album.
boa versão .
Esse vale apena dançar com duas nega vêia kkk
Indicatif per noi giovani
Цой жив!
Jimmy Smith died in 2005..😔
beware...not Jimmy Smith, the accepted father of jazz organ.
Nope! That is not THE Jimmy Smith aka James Oscar Smith!
Perhaps his son.
и хорошая работа ударника

A dying sound...And very unfortunate. My mom got me on this sound...A very old party sound...💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Not a dying sound to those who know great music.
1964
Its like a good B*B*Q, Bear down on the meat and ease off the potato salad.
N
Thats not Jimmie Smith!
Hmmm,sure isn't.I love this tune but I want the real Jimmy.
Who says this is J immy. Sound doesn't even come close!
I think English is still in use- why call this Jimmie Smith when it's not? this player is fine- why not use his name?
This is Jimmie Smith, and the name of the album is "Jimmie Smith plays Jimmy Smith
" Это не он ".

Nope ! Not close the real Jimmy
Not the original Jimmy Smith…good but certainly not as proficient as The Master himself. Bass -player not left hand/pedals…..Is this his son?
no one reads this anyway......but i honestly don't think this is JIMMY SMITH....diferent tonality and technique...
That’s not Jimmy Smith
THAT'S NOT JIMMY SMITH, PERIOD!!!!
Il gatto ha mangiato troppo è ingrassato,pensa troppo e non è più tanto agile. È diventato un sornione.🤭
Click bait folks!
He totally misses the true thema. It’s a shame, when you are in so good conditions….
i'd like to listen to organ not orchestra playing
