She was good, no doubt. Too bad it isn't a B3.
Here's a B3. In fact, in some of the sections of the video, Monaco
is playing the exact B3 I have in the music shop. I have pictures
and a CD of him playing it that came with the organ when I bought it.
He has an interesting background. As a young kid, around the age of
11, he was learning to play an accordion but contracted some form of a
neurological disease. He totally lost control of the muscles that
control finger movements. He had to relearn, by shear will power,
the ability to control movement of his hands and fingers. Even today
if you watch closely the way he forms chords on the organ keyboard and
attacks the keys is a bit different from what you would normally expect.

Great organist, to be sure, but even though he is playing a tribute to
Jimmy Smith, Jimmy Smith he ain't.
You got all that out of watching the video? WOW
