Jimmy Smith 4tet 1988 - Honky Tonk (Billy Butler)

The master of the Hammond B-3 organ, the one and only Jimmy Smith (1925 - 2005) appearing in Germany in 1988 accompanied by the great late Herman Riley on reeds, Terry Evans on guitar and Frank Wilson on drums in a concert guaranteed to make your trousers flap (if it were the seventies). Last number of this wonderful gig, "Honky Tonk", considered by many to be THE r&b instrumental classic, penned by guitarist Billy Butler while a member of Bill Doggett's famous outfit.
