RIP Jimmy McGriff

A couple of friends and I had a front row table to see Jimmy live at Sculler's in Boston in 2005. He was one of the greatest jazz organists around.

"Longtime jazz and blues organist Jimmy McGriff, known for the 1960s recordings of "I've Got a Woman" and "All About My Girl," has died. He was 72.

McGriff's death on Saturday from multiple sclerosis was confirmed to The Associated Press on Monday by his wife, Margaret McGriff."
