Chuck Nessa Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Depending on the rest of your collection, this is the "more money than brains" syndrome. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Depending on the rest of your collection, this is the "more money than brains" syndrome. I don't agree at all. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Depending on the rest of your collection, this is the "more money than brains" syndrome. I don't agree at all. If you are not excluding the first phrase of my post, you be "nuts". Need to get some air! Quote
Jazz Kat Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 It's called collecting. Or enjoying............ beautiful music. Quote
Soul Stream Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I have no defense of myself. I have all the JOS the same way I have all the Patton and all the Freddie Roach, ect.... Obviously to the detrement of other types of jazz. But I was a fan first and a player later. So, I've been loving it a long time. I LOVE jazz organ, and since JOS was the king, how can you NOT have it all! Quote
Indestructible! Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Got about 40-45 JOS beauties myself (all but a couple are on CD). Would love to have Soul Stream's collection though! Jimmy was the MAN! Cheers, Shane Quote
Free For All Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I've actually got them all. (sorry, I'm a freak). Just curious, how many is that? Quote
Guest Chaney Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 A serious question, posed by an admittedly organically-ignorant person: Is the range of the organ (oh, let's say the b3) so great that there'd be so much variety from any one artist to really justify owning dozens of that artist's recordings? Quote
Soul Stream Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I've actually got them all. (sorry, I'm a freak). Just curious, how many is that? Not sure how many that would be. My collection is scattered, totally unalphabetical, ect. I'd have to look at the allmusicguide to know actually. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I checked tonight when I came from work. I actually have 51 CD's buy Jimmy Smith. Quote
Soul Stream Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 ...uh...actually don't have Jimmy Smith's "At The Lowry Organ." So I have them all but one. Quote
Aggie87 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 (edited) You even have the Sears album? (see JSngry's thread here). Edited February 10, 2005 by Aggie87 Quote
JohnJ Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Seven, counting the Mosaic as three. All BN, no Verve. Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I HAD THE LOWRY LP BUT TRADED IT BUT TODAY IF I WERE TO DO IT OVER I WOULDNT CAUSE I LOVE DISCO AND I THINK IT WAS DISCO JIMMY. LETS TALK ABOUT OTHER OBSCURE/RARE JIMMY ITEMS....ARE THERE A LOT OF TAPES OF HIS LIVE WORK OUT THERE? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 3. The Sermon, House Party and Cool Blues. Quote
king ubu Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 24, most of them Blue Notes (only 50s and 60s), a few VMEs (The Cat, the one with Wes, Organ Grinder Swing, Blue Bash, Root Down, and the great first Verve disc he made), and the one with Eddie Harris. Never checked out much of Smith's post 1965 music. Quote
tonym Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 5 plus Waiting For The Boogaloo Sisters All of them very, very good. Quote
mikeweil Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I have 16 CDs, which equals about 20 LPs. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Damn, I voted 11-24 and I just re-counted and got 26! I guess I got more Jimmy than I thought. I can't get enough of "Cool Blues". Jimmy Smith and Tina Brooks... can't get much better than that. Well, especially when you add Blakey! Later, Kevin Quote

LETS TALK ABOUT OTHER OBSCURE/RARE JIMMY ITEMS....ARE THERE A LOT OF TAPES OF HIS LIVE WORK OUT THERE? I was reading the Defrancesco interview where they asked what he was listening to...he said "Jimmy Smith, Live In Israel." Anybody ever hear of this? Quote
scottb Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I'm pushing twenty but likely will take a jump after hearing some of the Verve issues on the tribute broadcast. Quote
