-Jimmy McGriff: "Main squeeze" US Groove Merchant -75
-Jimmy McGriff: "Step one" US Solid State - 68
-Jimmy McGriff: "Jimmy's room" US Jam -80
Philly born McGriff (1936-2008) thus obliged to Hammond B3,along with namesake Smith.
-Mel Brown: "Son of a preacher man" US Impulse -68
Brown (1939-2009) was Bobby Bland's guitarists in the 70s, while his jaz outings on Bob Thiele's Flying Dutchman/Impulse may turn out the more important?
-Gene Ammons: "Son of a preacher man" US Prestige -68

Tenorist Ammons (1925-1974) is often cited as founder of soul-jaz genre,mixing sax and B3.
-Eddie Harris: " 'Listen here' goes funky" US Atl.(blue)Jazz Series -73
Harris (1934-1996) was Chicago born,albeit of Cuban and NOLa heritage- which probably explains his Latino musical leanings. This version of 67 'Listen here' is straightned out and uptempo'ed, highlighting Eddie's Varitone electrical tenor sax.
-Gary McFarland: "Fried bananas" US Verve -67
Vibraphonist McFarland (1933-1971) of Skye label renown,along with Gabor Szabo and Cal Tjader.McFarland OD'd unintendedly on methadone spiked drink in N.Y. '55 Bar'.

-Johnny 'Hammond' Smith: "The stinger" pt.1 US Prestige -67
Kentuckyan Smith (1933-2004) did arrangments for Etta Jones and Nancy Wilson in 60s,while concentrating on own B3-career later on.
-Buddy Rich: "Nik-Nik" / "The bull" US Groove Merchant -75
Brooklyn born Rich (1917-1987) drummed every possible jaz style,including the Dorsey/Sinatra band just prior to WW2. Prod.Sonny Lester of Solid State/Blue Note fame.
-Willis Jackson: "Soul Grabber" US Prestige -68
Florida born tenorist Jackson (1932-1987) teamed with Jack McDuff, same way as did Ammons&McGriff.Thus establishing soul-jaz genre between them in mid 60s.
-Charlie Earland: "The mighty burner" US Prestige -67
-Charlie Earland: "Sing a simple song" US Prestige -68
Another Philly B3'er, Earland (1941-1999) regrettably ventured into synth space-funk in late 70s -along with Hammond host. From his more decent period, 'Simple song' being Sly Stewart's signature ditty.
-Jimmy McGriff: "Step one" US Solid State - 68
