Smith Jimmy / Confirmation

Description

Greatly influenced by gospel and blues, Jimmy Smith won an amateur piano competition at the age of nine. After a period of studying double bass, in 1948 he joined a big band in Philadelphia, where he discovered the Hammond B3 organ that would bring him fame. He achieved his first successes in the 1950s, when his recordings became popular as jukeboxes gained popularity in American bars, before there were generally terms used to describe his unique musical knowledge. During the 1960s and 1970s, he helped create the jazz style known as funk or soul jazz.
