James Oscar "Jimmy" Smith (December 8, 1925 or 1928, was an American jazz musician who helped popularize the Hammond B-3 electric organ. He wasn't the first organ player in jazz, but no one had a greater influence with the instrument than he did, creating an indelible link between sixties soul and jazz improvisation. He was a prolific recording artist and, as a leader, was dubbed The Incredible Jimmy Smith. He recorded around forty sessions for Blue Note in just eight years beginning in 1956. Smith influenced a constellation of jazz organists, as well as rock keyboardists such as Brian Auger and Keith Emerson. And more recently Medeski, Martin & Wood. Smith died Feb.2005. His last major album, released in 2000 Dot Com Blues (Blue Thumb, 2000), featured many special guests such as Dr. John, B. B. King and Etta James.
