| allmusic.com | There is a lot of info here, although it contains several inaccuracies (look out for the albums by the other Jimmy Smith). They also seem to have a real grudge against anything but his Blue Note releases. | ||
| Blue Note | For a list of their current re-issues. It's really only a shop front, although it does feature customer reviews which often have amusing axes to grind. | ||
| Verve | Verve's page has slightly better info that Blue Note's, but again it is a shop front for their re-issues (which are shamefully inadequate). On the plus side, you can listen to Jimmy here. | ||
| Soulwalking | A nice brief biog, with title only discography. There is a ton of other artist stuff on here too, so it's worth a look around. | ||
| IAJO | The International Archives for the Jazz Organ has mountains of jazz organ info (possibly all of it). Their Jimmy Smith page has both a biog and discog, although finding the page is tricky (look in the left frame for USA R-T). The contains personnel lists, but sadly lacks track listings, as well as having a few LPs missing (and a few ones that may not be by the same Jimmy Smith) | ||
| Organ Grounds | This site has much info about groovy organs and more. Their Jimmy page again has a biog and discog. Their Jazz/Funk organ map is nice. | ||
| all about jazz | A fairly comprehensive, if brief, biog. | ||

| Blue Note art | There are many pages of cover art here, covering around 40 years. There is some beautiful, ground-breaking stuff here. We're liking the early '60s bold use of white space period the best. | ||
| Jazz discogs | The Jazz Discography Project is ever growing. It has a staggering amount of info | ||
| Levi French | In late 2005, this organist put on a concert of big band Jimmy Smith tunes. Pray he does so again. | ||
| Archie Shepp | All about an underrated genius of modern jazz | ||
| Doug Payne | A few very handy discogs, indluding Oliver Nelson, Lalo Schifrin and Jimmy McGriff amongst others. | ||
