Jimmy Smith (1926-2005)

LMP says:
Sad to see Jimmy Smith leave us. One of our favorite JS stories is how he stopped playing the Hammond B3 in the late 60's and moved on to the quite hip X66 instead**, infuriating uptight jazzbos in the process. Hopefully right now he & T are having another Prayer Meetin' w/ God sitting down front. R.I.P.
 
** UPDATE: it was a Wersi W3T, and he supposedly only used it for one album. Ah well. Regardless, we're confident there's gotta be tape out there of him having fun with a Casio SK-1 as well.
