Jimmy
Smith, organ
Nineteen ninety-four marks forty years for Jimmy Smith on the Hammond
organ. Although he made the switch from the piano in 1953, Jimmy did not
really find his voice on the organ until the following year. Woodshedding
took place in the warehouse where he and his father worked as plasterers.

Music journalism defines him a "Legend".
It may be a word overused but there isn't truly a more appropriate way to describe keyboardist/composer Joe Zawinul.
Austrian
born, Joe Zawinul emigrated to the US in 1959 where he played with Maynard
Ferguson and the great Dinah Washington before joining alto saxophonist
great Cannonball Adderley in 1961 for nine years. With Adderley, Zawinul
wrote several important songs, primarily the slow and funky Hit "Mercy,
Mercy, Mercy" which reached the top on the Billboard magazine Pop
Charts in 1967.
Zawinul then moved on to a brief but fateful encounter and collaboration
with Miles Davis, just at the time Miles was moving into the electric
arena. It was Zawinul’s tune "In a Silent Way”, in fact,
which served as the title track of Miles’ first electric foray, and
Zawinul had a potent impact on Bitches Brew, as well.
