Jim Alfredson Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not excluding the first phrase of my post, you be "nuts". Need to get some air! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Kat Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 It's called collecting. Or enjoying............ beautiful music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indestructible! Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I've actually got them all. (sorry, I'm a freak). Just curious, how many is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share 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?

Soul Stream Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share 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!

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?
