Jazz and the Hammond B

I enjoy Jazz and the Hammond B. Jimmy Smith probably put this combination on the map--but I'm sure there were others, both before and after with creative genius. I'm looking for some recommendations that are excellent both in performance and sonics (be specific about which version to buy if there's more than one). Thanks.

Absract7, Get some Jimmy McGriff. He does a lot of stuff with Hank Crawford and David "Fathead" Newman. My personnal favorite is titled " Blues Groove" Telarc Jazz.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have more Hammond B stuff on order now than I currently own (great--now I have to find the time to listen to it). In particular--thank you Albert for making me salivate over something that is out of print: "I hate it when that happens" --I'll be looking on e-bay.

Also try Fred Jackson, "Hootin' and Tootin' ", on Blue Note BLP-4094, or CD equivalent. Earl Van Dyke played a Hammond B on that session, I believe.
