Anyone Else Like Jimmy Smith?

I own a bunch of the Hammond B3 wiz's albums...have not come across any re-masters but what I have for the most part sounds decent. I would love to get a hold of some of his work hi-rez or the like. He is a very moving musician with tons of soul and an awesome sound. His sound is going to give your system a work out! I recommend ..'Jimmy Smith and Wes Mongommery'.. 'Home Cookin' and 'Even Dot Com Blues' (his latest). Anyone else have experience ..opinions recommendations?

If you like Jimmy Smith, check out Joey DeFrancesco. Joey and Jimmy Smith actually play together on a CD entitled "Incredible". My favorite is "Live at the 5 Spot".
With him on this date are Grover Washington, Illinois Jacquet, Kirk Whalum, Houston Person and another organ great, Jack McDuff. It is one HELL of a jam session. Also check out Joey on Pat Martino's CD "Live at Yoshi's". Cue up "All Blues", crank up the subs and sit back and enjoy some of the best B3 music ever recorded.
