When I first started getting into jazz B3 players, some older jazz musicians informed me that many of them didn't consider the B3 to be a legitimate jazz instrument; too easy to play, too cheezy sounding, too electronic etc. Many years later and now the B3 is well accepted and has its own classic style of jazz too.

Hahaha, good title!!

I'll give it to Larry Young, if just for his surreal playing on Love, Devotion, Surrender album.

As a result, I go to Jimmy Smith if I choose it among a list. After all I think that it is certain that he is representative of the organist. I like the performance of Larry Goldings personally, too.

Since Larry has got one vote, I'll go for Dr Lonnie Smith
 
Never really thought of organ (beit the legendary Hammond B3) as a typical jazz instrument, though.
 
 
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

It's interesting that in jazz there are organ players and piano players, that almost exclusively play those. I mean it's not like in rock that you can hear a keyboard player vary the sound from piano to organ to synth to mellotron to wicked sounds back to piano. (not that that makes them a better player)

Of course, since the 70s most jazz piano players have touched at least a Rhodes and probably a synth too, but you really don't hear them on organ. And viceversa for the organ players. 
I'd really find interesting to hear chaps like Larry Young have a hidden piano release.

Of the people listed up there, John Medeski is probably the only multi-keyboardist.
Joey DeFrancesco will include the occasional piano song on his albums.

Yeah, you're right. Medeski is a retro-freak! Love his keyboard set, with clavinet, rhodes, hammond, everything is gold in there.
