sidewinder Posted December 31, 2021 Report Posted December 31, 2021 Essential viewing. Unbelievable that Jimmy Smith’s home B-3 nearly ended up in a skip ! Quote
bertrand Posted December 31, 2021 Report Posted December 31, 2021 Today is the last day to watch, not tomorrow, correct? How long is the film? Quote

Before 1 Jan 2022 US time I think. Duration about 90 minutes. Nice that they included interviews with Trudy Pitts, Jimmy McGriff and Dr Lonnie Smith. The first two of these three musicians passed away during the making of the film, along with Jimmy Smith. Quote
mjzee Posted January 1, 2022 Report Posted January 1, 2022 What a great documentary! Brad, thanks for alerting us and giving us a chance to see it. I got in right under the wire: started it yesterday and finished it today. Very greasy. Great interviews. Wish they had a little less about death and cancer, and I wish it would have gone into the mysteries of all the stops and drawbars. But still, it was just great. Quote
Rabshakeh Posted January 1, 2022 Report Posted January 1, 2022 I watched it too and really enjoyed it. There are some interviews with an organist called Shaun Brown from Tampa (I think). Has he recorded? I couldn't locate anything on Google. Quote

Yes, I really enjoyed it. Learned a lot about the B3 itself. Quote
Bluesnik Posted January 1, 2022 Report Posted January 1, 2022 Very great documentary. But I haven't seen it whole. I'm seeing parts. And what Brad said about learning. Quote
mjzee Posted January 2, 2022 Report Posted January 2, 2022 That clip with Miles was fascinating. Quote
