	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- Jazz organ pioneer Jimmy Smith dies
		Born in Norristown, Pennsylvania, on Dec. 8, 1925, Smith ruled the Hammond B-3 in the 1950s and 1960s and blended jazz, blues, RandB, bebop and even gospel into an exciting stew that came to known as "soul jazz" – an idiom that produced imitators, followers and fans.
		Critic Gene Seymour writing in the "Oxford Companion to Jazz," said, "Though he was not the first player to bring the electric organ to jazz, Smith gave the instrument the expressive power that Coleman Hawkins and Charlie Parker gave their respective saxophones."
		The pipe organ had been used in jazz in the 1930s by such famous players as Fats Waller but it was obviously too big and too heavy to be lugged into jazz clubs.

		According to Joe Caploe, director of percussion and jazz studies at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, McCaslin is "one of New York's finest tenor sax players." McCaslin was a guest artist at the UWP Jazz Festival in 1999 and recently notified Caploe that he would be performing in Chicago on Nov. 24.
		The concert is scheduled for Nov. 25 in the Pioneer Haus of the Pioneer Student Center.
		Having a world-class player like McCaslin at the combos concert combined with the Pioneer Haus atmosphere displays a relaxed environment that is more susceptible to the jazz ambience and feelings that the music invokes.

		This fearless performer is famous for shaking up the conservative shakuhachi world with his ground-breaking jazz and contemporary compositions, starting in the 1960s.
		Also, jazz is often played like a conversation spoken back and forth between the shakuhachi and the other instruments, and it’s a challenge to make the shakuhachi fit in with the other instruments, so that at any given time, the shakuhachi is not the only instrument on stage speaking Japanese.

		Prior to Verve, Smith was mostly featured in burning small ensembles, many of his Verve Records found him surrounded in larger orchestral settings, arranged by Oliver Nelson and Lalo Schifrin. Some critics quipped that the orchestral arrangements somewhat drowned out Smith’s flinty organ excursions.
		Smith’s tenure with Verve concluded in 1972. Like many other jazz musicians in the ’70s, his recording career suffered once record companies started ignoring jazz in favor of rock and RandB. His output on the Decca, Milestone and Elektra labels throughout the late-’70s and ’80s is noticeably smaller than his extensive discography in the’60s.
		Luckily, he was just as mesmerizing on stage as he was on record, allowing him to thrive on the live music circuit.
