Jazz Organists

[c3hamby]

What do you guys think of jazz organists, like Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Charles Earland?  I know it's a different style than gospel.

I'm a organ and bassist, but I really like all three of those organist, but I also really like Shirley Scott,who is a great pianist and organist from the 50's-80's. Also check out Billy Preston's cd on vee jay records. It's more gospel tune on there but you can tell that he also diggs jazz organist.
