Oscar Brown Jr. introduces Jimmy Smith, the guy who invented Hammond organ jazz. If you start watching the video, keep in mind it’s like 25 minutes.

I hope you don’t mind. I’m no jazz expert, I just enjoy this ‘genre’ as much as many others, and just wanted to share with you some great music.

I just found this at smashingtelly, a great blog that is all about posting videos, but not any kind of videos. According to their introduction:

Smashing Telly is a hand edited collection of the best free, instantly available TV on the web. Not 30 second clips of a dog on a skateboard, or the millionth person to mime the Numa song, but full length programs. Smashing Telly, not Gimmick Telly.
Many of the items that I’ll be putting up on a regular basis are documentaries, since thats what tends to be out there at the moment.

Anyway, enjoy

John Coltrane,Stan Getz,Oscar Peterson,Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb, in Rifftide, European Tv, 1960.

Just to remember. I don’t know if this one is good or bad, but it’s fun!

Enjoy

Remeber Natalie Imbruglia? she’s such a cutie, what happened to her? after ‘torn’ she just disappeared.

imbruglia2 Hosted on Zooomr

Anyway, seems she’s still around. Here you can see her performing her famous song ‘Torn’. Quite a funny version, thanks to David Armand

From ‘the hollow men’ pilot, I guess this was the original version of this performance: click to see video

In my opinion, this acoustic version is way better than the original.

Her voice is simply amazing!

Monte Montgomery is a critically-acclaimed American musician and songwriter, specializing in the acoustic guitar. He has won the “Best Acoustic Guitar Player” award at the Austin Music Awards seven years in a row, the only artist to have done so. On January 29th, 1999 he appeared following Bruce Hornsby on Austin City Limits, episode #2411 (originally aired on April 17th, 1999).

In 2004, Alvarez Guitars unveiled the MMY1 Monte Montgomery Signature Guitar. Due to his intense playing style, Montgomery has broken the neck of his DY62C model guitar four times. The MMY1 has a reinforced neck to prevent such breakage.
