**Lyrics Below — “One Of These Days”** is a joyful, expectant song about looking beyond this present life toward the day when the trumpet sounds and we enter forever into the presence of the Lord. The verses begin with quiet, everyday images—morning light, waking from a dream, and a traveler walking the narrow way—before opening into the declaration, *“One of these days I'm gonna fly.”* Musically, this 2026 Remix is rooted in classic 1970s Southern rock, moving at 115 BPM in G major with a warm blend of blues, country, gospel, and roots rock. Strummed acoustic guitar and clean electric guitar give way to rich Hammond B3, rolling gospel-blues piano, melodic bass, natural drums, congas, hand percussion, and strong Southern-rock male harmonies in the choruses. A major instrumental feature is the extended harmonized double-lead guitar section, with two electric guitars weaving lyrical major-key melodies, sustained bends, call-and-response phrases, and soaring harmony lines. The result is a warm, melodic Southern-rock worship song filled with anticipation for the day when faith becomes sight and there is joy forevermore in the presence of Jesus. [Intro] [strummed acoustic guitar, clean electric guitar lead riff] [Verse 1] Morning dove taps on my window Curtain moves, sunlight in my eyes Thoughts slowly rise like a whisp of smoke I was living in a dream until I awoke [Chorus] One of these days I'm gonna fly One of these days when the trumpet sounds Joy unspeakable, full of glory there In the presence of the Lord is joy forevermore [Verse 2] Ramlin' man, roamin' on the narrow way Singing songs of praise, oh happy day He lifts his head, his gaze begins to rise He turns to me and says, "Keep your eyes on the prize" [Chorus] One of these days I'm gonna fly One of these days when the trumpet sounds Joy unspeakable, full of glory there In the presence of the Lord is joy forevermore [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] One of these days I'm gonna fly One of these days when the trumpet sounds Joy unspeakable, full of glory there In the presence of the Lord is joy forevermore [Outro] One of these days I'm gonna fly One of these days I'm gonna fly One of these days when the trumpet sounds
**Because You First Loved Me** **Lyrics Below.** “Because You First Loved Me” is a 1970s-inspired Christian funk singer-songwriter song built around a warm, rhythmic groove of clean electric guitar, vintage Rhodes piano, punchy melodic bass, Hammond B3, congas, timbales, and layered background harmonies. The song is a declaration of love and gratitude to Jesus Christ, recognizing that our love for Him is a response to the love He first showed us. It moves from worship and surrender into praise, the pursuit of His presence, and the desire for the fire of His love to continually burn within our hearts. **Scripture Reference — 1 John 4:19** *“We love him, because he first loved us.”* [Intro] [clean rhythmic electric guitar, punchy bass, steady drum kit] [Verse 1] [tenor male vocals] (Ooh) Going to take a little time right now Before your presence I will bow (Yeah, yeah) Yesterday, today, and forever you never change For your love is everlasting [Chorus] [layered vocal harmonies enter] I love you Lord (Mmm-hmm) Because you first loved me, yes you did For there is no one like you Your holy presence I'll pursue (Oh yeah) [Verse 2] Going to bring an offering of praise With holy hands I will raise To the God of Abraham I cry The name of Jesus I glorify [Chorus] I love you Lord (Mmm-hmm) Because you first loved me, yes you did For there is no one like you Your holy presence I'll pursue (Oh yeah) [Bridge] [instrumental break with guitar scratches and bass fills] [Chorus] I love you Lord (Mmm-hmm) Because you first loved me, yes you did For there is no one like you Your holy presence I'll pursue (Oh yeah) [Outro] Going to stir the fire in my heart, Lord With the fire of love is where I need to start With the sacrifice of praise Sing praise to the ancient of days I love you Lord Because you first loved me, yes you did For there is no one like you Your holy presence I'll pursue I love you Lord Because you first loved me, yes you did I love you Lord Because you first loved me, yes you did [guitar riff fades]
Lyrics Below.“Wild Wild World” is a laid-back Southern rock worship song with a strong 1970s feel, blending melodic twin guitars, rolling piano, Hammond B3, and a steady rootsy groove. The song contrasts the danger and darkness of this fallen world with the safety, comfort, and protection found in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd. With imagery of wolves, lambs, shelter, and the roaring lion, it points to the spiritual battle believers face while declaring the peace and security of abiding in the presence of God. Lyrics: It's a wild, wild world out there Wolves are all around It's a wild, wild world out there Devil like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour The Lord is my shepherd And I am one of His lambs Beside still waters I will abide Jesus the shepherd at my side It's a wild, wild world out there Wolves are all around It's a wild, wild world out there Devil like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour Yahweh my hiding place A shelter from every storm The secret place of the Most High Is where I will abide It's a wild, wild world out there Wolves are all around It's a wild, wild world out there Devil like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour The Lord is my sun and shield Of whom shall I fear? Your rod and staff they comfort me And I've never felt so free It's a wild, wild world out there Wolves are all around It's a wild, wild world out there Devil like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour It's a wild, wild world out there Wolves are all around It's a wild, wild world out there Devil like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour It's a wild, wild world out there It's a wild, wild world out there
Lyrics Below “A Righteous Man's Blues” is a soulful Gospel-blues song built on a driving Southern blues shuffle with an early-1970s Latin-rock influence. Warm sustained electric-guitar lines answer the vocals with expressive bends and melodic blues-Latin phrasing, while rolling gospel piano and Hammond B3 bring a rich church-rooted foundation. A melodic bass line, natural drums, congas, timbales, cowbell, and hand percussion give the track a deep rhythmic pulse. Female gospel-soul backing vocals answer the lead in call-and-response and expand into fuller harmonies during the chorus. The song's message is one of perseverance, faith, and complete trust in Jesus through confusion, adversity, spiritual opposition, and life's storms. [Verse 1] Everywhere I'm looking, Lord, I just can't find my way Everywhere I'm looking, Lord, I just can't find my way So I'm gonna put my trust in every word You say [Verse 2] Storm clouds are brewing, heavy rain is gonna fall Oh, storm clouds are brewing, heavy rain is gonna fall Still I'm gonna trust You, Lord, through it all [Verse 3] The enemy surrounds me, and I'm feeling lost Oh, the enemy surrounds me, and I'm feeling lost I'm gonna put my trust in Jesus and the power of the cross [Verse 4] Blessed is the man who walks in righteousness Oh, blessed is the man who walks in righteousness He's gonna see the goodness of the Lord The goodness of the Lord! [Verse 5] Woke up this morning, couldn't shake these blues Woke up this morning, Lord, couldn't shake these blues Then I remembered Jesus paid my dues [Chorus] Come to the Master, He's gonna save your soul Oh, come to the Master, He's gonna save your soul He's gonna lift your burden and make you whole [Chorus] Come to the Master, He's gonna save your soul Oh, come to the Master, He's gonna save your soul He's gonna lift your burden and make you whole [Outro] Come to the Master, He's gonna save your soul Oh, come to the Master, He's gonna save your soul He's gonna lift your burden and make you whole Make you whole Make you whole @ 2016 Shiloh Worship Music
Cette chanson est un chant chrétien de louange et de témoignage, centré sur la fidélité de Dieu et sur la conviction que rien ne peut nous séparer de Son amour. Les couplets évoquent Moïse devant la mer Rouge, Daniel dans la fosse aux lions et David face à Goliath, montrant comment Dieu ouvre un chemin, protège Son peuple et donne la victoire même lorsque toute issue semble impossible. Le refrain exprime une foi personnelle et déterminée : personne ne peut m'éloigner de l'amour du Seigneur, car Il m'a donné une vie nouvelle. Le style musical est un folk-rock chrétien de la côte Ouest des années 1970, avec une forte influence roots et blues. L'arrangement repose sur deux guitares acoustiques puissantes placées largement à gauche et à droite, une guitare électrique 6 cordes au son clair et chaleureux qui répond aux phrases vocales, une basse mélodique, une batterie naturelle, un orgue Hammond B3 et de riches harmonies vocales masculines à deux, trois et quatre voix. L'ensemble a un caractère chaleureux, organique, mélodique et entraînant, avec des passages de guitare bluesy sobres et expressifs.
“You Saved My Soul” is a Southern rock worship song built around a testimony of redemption, moving from darkness into the light of Christ. The arrangement features authentic early-1970s Southern-rock guitar work, clean arpeggiated riffs, bluesy double-stops, melodic twin-guitar lines, warm Rhodes, rolling blues-and-gospel piano, Hammond B3, active congas, melodic bass, and natural driving drums. Strong 3- and 4-part harmonies lift the choruses, while the guitar, piano, and organ breaks give the song a soulful, rootsy character. At its heart, the song is a direct declaration of gratitude to Jesus for salvation, new life, and the gift of eternity I was lost in the darkness I did not know where to go But you Saved my soul and made me whole And you took me from the darkness and you brought me to the light Saved my soul and made me whole And you took me from the darkness and you brought me to the light I was wandering in the darkness Well, I was blind as I could be My mind was blown by the things I've been shown And I suddenly want to live I want to live for eternity I was lost in the darkness I did not know where to go But you Saved my soul and made me whole And you took me from the darkness and you brought me to the light Saved my soul and made me whole And you took me from the darkness and you brought me to the light I was looking for something To fill the emptiness inside So I laid down my pride and I invited you inside And I received your free gift of eternal life I was lost in the darkness I did not know where to go But you Saved my soul and made me whole And you took me from the darkness and you brought me to the light Saved my soul and made me whole And you took me from the darkness and you brought me to the light Saved my soul and made me whole And you took me from the darkness and you brought me to the light Saved my soul and made me whole And you took me from the darkness and you brought me to the light You're a treasure discovered You're the pearl of great price Now I'm singing a new song 'cause I said so long to this world All of its lies I was lost in the darkness I did not know where to go But you Saved my soul and made me whole And you took me from the darkness and you brought me to the light Saved my soul and made me whole And you took me from the darkness and you brought me to the light Saved my soul and made me whole And you took me from the darkness and you brought me to the light © 2006 and Sound Recording © 2026
Performance used with permission from the artist and venue. A glimpse of gospel, jazz, and soul from the great legends is what inspires the sound of pianist Theron Brown's music. You will get more than just a glimpse of this, however, on this episode of the program. Because not only do we get Theron showing off his talents on the Piano and Fender Rhodes, but Northeast Ohio Legend Cliff Barnes joins Theron on the Hammond B3. Add in Akron based Trumpeter Tommy Lehman and James Johnson III on Drums and it is an unforgettable performance. From a sold-out July 18th, 2025 performance, it's Theron Brown featuring Cliff Barnes…Live at the Bop Stop.
Today marks a massive milestone for LINER NOTES as this episode officially kicks off Year 9 of the podcast. For the past 8 years, this show has been about pulling back the curtain on the creative process, and I couldn't think of a better artist to help us launch this anniversary season than keyboard wizard Larry Goldings. Larry has been a definitive voice on the Hammond B3 for over three decades, shaping the sound of modern jazz organ. He joins me today to break down his incredible new organ trio record, Rhombus on Smoke Sessions Records with his bandmates Peter Bernstein and Bill Stewart—delving into the unique chemistry of the trio and how he continues to find fresh terrain in a classic format.
En esta nueva edición de nuestro podcast presentamos 'Sleight of Hand', el nuevo álbum del saxofonista Steve Cole. Repasamos otros recientes lanzamientos en la música Smooth Jazz firmados por Randy Brecker, Architects of Sound, Andy Snitzer, Sergio Pereira y Hil St Soul. Los minutos centrales están protagonizados por el sonido del órgano Hammond B3 del músico británico Paul Moran, director de la banda de Van Morrison.
YHI + McBride = Ray Charles?! Christian McBride - bassist, Grammy winner and one of the greatest musical minds working today - joins Adam and Peter on You'll Hear It to share his desert island album.If you know Christian, you know that his musical hero is James Brown. But Christian isn't bringing a James Brown pick. Instead, he's bringing one from his hero's hero ... Ray Charles.This album was a risky move for Charles - unlike anything else he'd released at that time. At the peak of his power, he set aside the qualities that made him famous: his voice and his piano.This one's a deep cut. But once you listen, you'll never hear Ray Charles the same way again.Chapters Legend:
• Psalm 51:6 — "You desire truth in the inward parts." • Mark 9:24 — "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief." • Psalm 34:18 — "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted." There's a kind of worship that doesn't need a microphone. It doesn't need a Hammond B3. It doesn't need a choir or a praise team. It's the worship that happens when you finally tell God the truth. Not the church truth. Not the rehearsed truth. Not the "I'm blessed and highly favored" truth. I'm talking about the real truth. The truth you don't post. The truth you don't testify about. The truth you don't want anybody to see. The truth that lives in the inward parts. God says, "That's what I want." Because God can't heal what you pretend isn't hurting.

Send a textBarrett Tasky is one of those rare gems you discover right in your back yard. This episode title (based on a comment of Barrett's) is accurate in that, like a pyramid of Egypt, Tasky has an amazing broad base of music, recording and performance that culminates in his latest project, Barrett's Hidden Agenda. The man literally plays a multitude of instruments. His studio has everything from a standup bass to a Hammond B3. He is adept at mandolin, guitar, saxophone---the list goes on. Tasky writes songs in the American vein of songwriting. His style is personal and inspirational. "When you are looking down, that's when you know you are flying" is just one of the great lyrics people will be able to delight to when listening to this interview. He is a true craftsman in more than one way. Not only performing music in various groups, including a duo with his wife Barb, but keeping "an ace in the pocket" with running a woodworking business (http://thewoodwizzard.com) handed down to him by his father. Creative and challenging work for anyone who has had a beloved piece of furniture refinished or reupholstered. You want the right sort of artist in charge. Tasky takes that tradition and applies it to all of his musical endeavors, including working with the founders of the Steel Bridge musical group in Sturgeon Bay, WI. Like a pyramid, Tasky has a lot of secret chambers, hidden halls and is a great artist to discover. And just like Howard Carter looking in on Tutankhamen's tomb for the first time, you are going to be treated to some "wondrous things!" https://www.barrettshiddenagenda.com/https://thebarbandbarrettshow.com/https://superheroaudio.com/Support the showWe are always grateful to have you listening to STRUNG OUT.

In this episode, I'm joined by Simon Oslender, and I'm not exaggerating when I say his playing lit me up the first time I heard it: pure joy, but with real depth underneath. We talk about growing up in a deeply musical home, starting on drums, and the exact “big bang” moment when a John Mayall live DVD (and Tom Canning on Hammond B3) made Simon lock in on the organ for life.We get into Simon's early recording experiments, how he writes (often away from the instrument, grabbing voice memos before ideas disappear), and his relationship with theory—especially his favorite framing: theory shouldn't tell you what to do, it should explain what you're hearing. And then we go deep on the dream-team reality of All That Matters: recording with Steve Gadd and Will Lee and how that session turned into a tour, and what it takes to keep your head straight when your heroes show up fully prepared to play your music.Music from the Episode:On a Roll (Simon Oslender)In Good Hands (Simon Oslender)Cruisin' (Simon Oslender)Quite Logical (Simon Oslender)Thank you for listening.

Performance and Works used with permission from the artist and venue. Mixing jazz, blues and funk with a healthy dose of the Hammond B3, the Pittsburgh based Norside produces a sound best described as Rust Belt Funk. Whether they're playing alongside contemporaries such as The New Mastersounds and Bar Kays, or pushing boundaries with the Steeltown Horns, Norside embodies the commitment to giving the Hammond B3 room to breathe and pushing musical boundaries. For this performance, they're joined by pre-eminent Northeast Ohio trumpeter Tommy Lehman. By this point in the program, Tommy needs no introduction but he travels extensively both as a member of Alla Boara and The Admirables and as the leader of multiple groups under his own name. Featuring Tommy Lehman on Trumpet, Skip Sanders on the Hammond B3, Steve Ippolito on Drums and Glenn Strother on Guitar, and from a March 13th, 2025 performance, it's Norside featuring Tommy Lehman…Live at the Bop Stop.

Performance used with permission from Alex Anest. The Detroit based Alex Anest Trio explores both original tunes and compositions from some of the greats on this organ trio performance. And its territory Alex knows well with appearances on over three dozen albums under his belt including a half dozen as a group leader. Alex anchors the group's sound on guitar, but Jim Alfredson mans the Hammond B3 and David Ward brings the funk on drums. From a January 9th, 2025 performance it's the Alex Anest Trio – Live at the Bop Stop.
Performance used with permission from Marc Ribot. The Hammond B3 sound sits, at least to me, at the core of Soul Jazz. The Hammond in the right hands expresses a depth and authenticity to music that other instruments struggle to match. Guitarist Marc Ribot would take this thought one step further and assert that the depth and authenticity of the Soul Jazz movement of the late 1970s and the New York punk movement going on at the same time had similar expressiveness, even if the two scenes had different circles and different core motivations. Expressing these commonalities are something he's been chasing ever since, and we're fortunate enough to hear the fruits of that effort on this program. It's doubly special because the Jazz Bins feature Greg Lewis on the Hammond B3 and New Orleans native Joe Dyson on drums. From two sold out performances on April 13th, 2024, it's time to find out what sits at the intersection of Soul Jazz and Punk with Marc Ribot's Jazz Bins…Live at the Bop Stop.
Brian Auger honestly states in this podcast, “Being a professional musician and making a living at it wasn't planned, it just happened.” British Keyboard artist Brian Auger has played with the best of the best - Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Sonny Boy Williamson, Rod Stewart, Eric Burdon, John McLaughlin , Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Spencer Davis just to name a few. His groups were The Trinity with Julie Driscoll and the Oblivion Express as well as playing in many sessions with major artists. In this insightful podcast Brian takes us from being bombed by Hitler's troops as a young boy in the streets of London to his becoming a world class musician specializing in the Hammond B3 organ. Brian sums up his approach to playing music with the following quote: “I'm never dissatisfied with the reaction to albums because there are certain albums that I made in the ‘70s and the ‘60s that sold poor and people want them. It seems to pick up different generations as it goes along. I don't worry about that. I just worry that the tracks that we would put, have a meaning to them, they mean something to me. Each album is like a page in my musical diary: Where I am musically at that time. I am not looking to write something for any kind of need in the marketplace or anything like that. I am just trying to make the best music that I can make and put it out there.”
This performance used with permission from Theron Brown. If you're a frequent lister to this program we mention often that Theron Brown is the hardest working performer in show business. From his work as Artistic Director with the I Promise School to his role overseeing the annual Rubber City Jazz and Blues Festival, Theron is intimately involved with making Northeast Ohio a magnet for musical talent. For this performance, Theron brings the Fender Rhodes Mk II to life with his trio. While the Hammond B3 gets the accolades for being the center of Soul Jazz, The Fender Rhodes might not get the credit it deserves for the warmth, authenticity and versatility it delivered to audiences. At least, the ones built before 1983. If you like what you hear today and are looking for more jazz records focused around the Fender Rhodes, All About Jazz has an excellent article on this topic, written by Chris May. For now, though, featuring Zaire Darden on Drums, Jordan McBride on Bass and Theron Brown on Piano and Fender Rhodes and from a sold out April 26th, 2024 performance, it's the Theron Brown Trio – Live at the Bop Stop. There is No Greater Love - Jones Who Shot John? - Wilson Feel Like Making Love - McDaniels Swingin' at the Haven - Marsalis For more information on the program, click on the Live at the Bop Stop Radio Show link at thebopstop.org.

This sold out trio performance features Mitchell on Hammond B3 alongside Tim Picard on Guitar and Ori Jossel on drums. From April 26th, 2024 it's the Mitchell Galligan Trio – Live at the Bop Stop.

Send us a textEveryone knows and loves Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their run of hits at the end of the '60's, and their enduring popularity, has rarely been equaled. Not so well-known is the story of the clashes that caused their run to end so abruptly. We take a look at how the band split and the many personal and legal issues that led to it. It ain't pretty! Well, we also kept our promise and listened to the new Coldplay album, “Moon Music”. How did it sound to us? Regular listeners won't be surprised at our reaction! In Rock News, we look some more at the issues surrounding Diddy, and look at the problems with the "stage hole" in Melbourne. Our Album You Must Listen to Before You Die is 1977's “Bat Out of Hell” by Meat Loaf. Such a great album!!

Last November, we had Benjamin Koppel, son and collaborator of today's guest.But today's story starts decades ago when Anders played Newport with his band Savage Rose. Fast forward to now, and Anders is back at the Hammond B3, making magic with Benjamin on alto sax and the incredible Brian Blade on drums.This trio came together naturally. Benjamin and Brian have been close friends and collaborators since 2011. Something special clicked when they invited Anders to join them on the organ.

Fast forward to now, and Anders is back at the Hammond B3, making magic with Benjamin on alto sax and the incredible Brian Blade on drums.This trio came together naturally. Benjamin and Brian have been close friends and collaborators since 2011. Something special clicked when they invited Anders to join them on the organ.

This week's Deadpod features the second show the band played in 1980, this from the Capitol Theater in Passaic New Jersey on March 30, 1980. Brent is fairly new to the band, and finding his way on some of these tunes.. they open with a relatively new 'Alabama Getaway' which goes into 'Promised Land' for a rockin' start to the evening. 'Cassidy' which follows 'Peggy-O' is a bit rushed, but the 'Loser' that follows is quite good. Brent debuts his 'Far From Me' which still needs some work but shows promise. Another highlight is the 'New Minglewood Blues' where Brent's Hammond B3 sounds especially good. The rest of the set is quite good as well - the 'Althea' is well done and Bobby adds alot of energy to the 'Sailor>Saint' combo to close the set. Grateful Dead Capitol Theatre Passaic, NJ 3/30/1980 - Sunday One Alabama Getaway [5:02] > The Promised Land [4:15] Peggy-O [6:54] Cassidy [4:45] Loser [6:36] > El Paso [4:26] Far From Me [4:01] Tennessee Jed [4:40] New Minglewood Blues [6:33] Althea [7:43] Lost Sailor [6:03] > Saint Of Circumstance [5:56#] You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod032924.mp3 Hope that you have a happy Easter weekend! my thanks to Steve for his suggestion of this show.

This week on Echoes of Indiana Avenue, celebrate Women's History Month by learning about the legendary jazz women of Indiana Avenue. Listen to an hour of classic music from Indianapolis women who made historical contributions to jazz, including: Debbie Andrews, Sarah McLawler, Flo Garvin and the Hampton Sisters. Jazz vocalist Debbie Andrews gained fame in the 1950s performing with Wes Montgomery's Montgomery-Johnson Quintet. Andrews' brother Sonny Johnson, was the band's drummer. Andrews' talent as a vocalist impressed many musicians, including Duke Ellington, he invited her to tour with his orchestra during the early 1950s. Vocalist and organist Sarah McLawler was among the first wave of jazz musicians to record on the Hammond B3 organ. She attended Crispus Attucks High School and studied music at Indy's Jordan Conservatory. McLawler rose to national prominence in the early '50s with The Syncoettes, a pioneering quartet of women musicians. Pianist and vocalist Flo Garvin was a popular attraction on Indiana Avenue during the 1940s and '50s. Garvin was among the first Black entertainers to host their own television program in Indianapolis. Today, Garvin is best remembered for her 1952 single on King Records, recorded with the Jimmy Coe Orchestra. Aletra, Dawn, Virtue, and Carmalita Hampton began performing in Indianapolis as the Hampton Sisters during the early 1940s. They were members of the famous Hampton Family band, which also included their brother Slide Hampton, a world renown trombonist. Sisters Aletra and Virtue led the group into the early 21st Century.

Demuir has maintained his stay at the forefront of the house scene, pushing out releases on stellar labels, and heavily touring, his funk laden sound is always centred around a certain soul emotion, a passion that he pours from himself into his sound which remains globally appreciated. Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Demuir started off as a child playing around on his Dad's Hammond B3 organ, before beginning to play music seriously at the age of 16, with skills covering the keys, bass guitar, drums and percussion instruments. He first fell in love with house music after hearing Derrick May's “Strings of Life”, and by seeing May, DJ Sneak, and Mark Farina at Industry, the legendary Toronto nightclub. The highly anticipated “Visions” LP from Demuir is finally upon us and spans across Demuir's dynamite house textures, crammed with depth and emotion. The eight-track LP on his own Purveyor Underground Limited also features artists such as Fred P - Black Jazz Consortium, Aaron K Gray and TUSH, and a digital-only track in collaboration with Farouki. If you want to release on the biggest labels and DJ for the biggest brands, this video will give you a wealth of insights into how to do just that!

Jimmy Smith didn't invent the electric organ but, for several decades at least, you wouldn't know it. The response to his Blue Note and Verve LPs in the Fifties and Sixties made him a festival headliner and earned him the nickname "The Incredible Jimmy Smith." To this day, no one in the Jazz idiom can sit down at a Hammond B3 without contending with his influence or his very life force, even 17 years after he left this earth. Brian Charette knows. He has been in the top 10 in Downbeat Magazine's critics' poll of best organ players for most of the last 10 years because he is a player of wit, passion, and intensity. On this Monday's Deep Focus, Mitch Goldman will lead Brian through the WKCR archives and ask him to show us what kind of live performer The Incredible Jimmy Smith really was. It's only on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR HD-1 and wkcr.org Monday night from 6pm to 9pm NYC time.
