Pryso, no one can understand the relationship between music, and the people or events surrounding the music more than me; if it was my dad's music, I'd probably be playing it every other day, but as it stands, I have almost none of it in my collec...

Here's another Jimmy Smith hit;          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUtkr4rndZkThis was on jukeboxes, and you had to punch 2 records to get the complete 45; part 1 and then part 2. Part 2 is where they kick it up a notch.

Frogman, Lee Morgan's solo carries that over the top; his singing trumpet is like no other, it competes with vocalists, and Kenny Burrells guitar strumming was made for Jimmy Smith's organ.After listening to that, I know why Lee Morgan is my favor...

Pryso, in general, our tastes are about the same; I spent my summers with a cousin in Chicago in the mid 50's to 60, who was a jazz fanatic, and that's where I developed my fundamental taste for jazz.Why don't you post some of your fathers music, ...

Belated obituary to a jazz great
It's amazing that I should read what you reported on Joe Henderson, at the same time I was enjoying his fantastic solo on Grant Greens "Idle Moments"; that solo is so hypnotic that Rudy Van Gelder let it play over what he knew was the allotted tim...
