The Jimmy Smith Trio live at Jazz Scene USA, 1962.
James Oscar Smith or 1928 was an American jazz musician whose albums often charted on Billboard magazine. He helped popularize the Hammond B-3 organ, creating a link between jazz and 1960s soul music (Wickypedia)
Today we look at an episode of the early 60s TV show “Art Ford’s Jazz Party”.
This time focusing on the early New Orleans scene.
It features: George Lewis ~ Clarinet, Punch Miller ~ Trumpet, Alphonse Picou ~ Clarinet, Sweet Emma Barrett ~ Piano, Peter Bocage ~ Violin, Charlie Love ~ Trumpet, Louis Nelson ~ Trombone, George Guesnon ~ Banjo Slow, Drag Pavageau ~ Bass, Paul Barbarin ~ Drummer.
I must admit that of all the Jazz forms, the old fashioned New Orleans sound is a little bit brash for my taste, but this program is definitely a wonderful little gem.
