| I've seen it before. Proof once more that a jazz sound is in the fingers and not in the type of instrument..... It's not what you play, it's how you play it! EDIT: watching the video I saw that his PU-switch is all the way down, ergo: he uses the bridge pickup!! Kind of puzzles me how he manages to sound very much like Wes there...... with the BRIDGE PU OF A STRAT!! Last edited by Little Jay : 05-07-2010 at 05:14 AM. |

| I've own that, pretty much all Jimmy Smiths albums. Yea he gets close to sounding like a jazz box, in Kenny B's direction, but he never really had the chops to hang with Jimmy... or really sound like more than a great blues player, which I dig ... He just got old pretty quick. Not Jimmy though... I guess that's why it was his album... Great stuff, It's great to see vids of music we listen to in the 60's and 70's. Thanks Reg |

| Quentin never really got his due just like another great Smith sideman who was with him for many years and on many, many albums, Eddie McFadden. They both got chops, that is for sure, but I think Jimmy liked them for there ability to groove on the low register, through in some blistering licks here and there, and always keep that down home blues feel as a foil for his intense style. Obviously these 2 are overshadowed by Jimmy's other session guitarist in the 50's and 60's, Kenny Burrell and Wes Montgomery. There playing is not as memorable as both these monster players, but still great nonetheless. Here is a sample of Eddie and Jimmy in the 50's: YouTube - 01.Soft Winds - Jimmy Smith Trio + Lou Donaldson
