Leave it to Jazz Icons Productions & Naxos, and Paris, to give us our first great quality concert of Jimmy Smith. 90 Minutes of glorious black & white, with excellent sound, and a 24 page booklet. Circa 1969.
After being very dissapointed with THE CHAMP dvd, this one shines and grooves!
I was getting worried that there might be so little footage of Jimmy, we'd lost the chance at revisiting his genius on dvd. But, thanks to this concert, and his appearance on A NIGHT WITH BLUE NOTE dvd, we have him in all his home cookin' splendor!
Lets hope more great quality videos of Jimmy Smith will be forthcoming. But for now, this one will be just fine!

Jazz Icons: Jimmy Smith- Live In '69Jazz Icons: Jimmy Smith boasts an incredible 90-minute concert from 1969 filmed in Paris. Working in his classic trio format (with longtime guitarist Eddie McFadden and drummer Charlie Crosby), Jimmy shows why he is still the uncontested king of the jazz organ. Highlights include blues jams 'Got My Mojo Working' and 'Sonnymoon For Two,' the classic ballads 'Alfie' and 'Satin Doll,' as well as a blinding 23-minute version of his showcase number 'The Sermon.'The release of the fourth installment of the Jazz Icons series now brings it up to 30 separate DVDs and over 40 hours of vintage jazz performances, making this the most comprehensive music DVD series of any genre. Reelin' In The Years who produced the Jazz Icons series are also responsible for the Grammy-nominated American Folk Blues Festival series, the multi-platinum selling Definitive Motown series (Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles) and the British Invasion series (Small Faces, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Dusty Springfield, and Herman's Hermits.) As in all of their projects, each DVD is produced with the full support and cooperation of the artists or their estates.
