Never heard of him before Andy
i listened to " our day will come "
being from Pittsburgh, i wonder if George Benson knew Jimmy ?
Sounds familiar to me...
Thanx for the heads up

I've heard Ponder a whole
lot on B3 Trio recordings.
Great player . . he had a
good run.

Aw, man, hate to hear this. Maybe not a household name, but Jimmy was one of the greats. Great tone, great feel. Yeah, the organ trio stuff is superb.

RIP Jimmy. Saw him quite a bit in the 80s. A great player in the Wes/Grant Green tradition.

One night, Jimmy saw me with a tape recorder and asked me to turn it off, but later on said, "it's cool, man, go ahead." Then he played Coltrane's "After the Rain".
