Of course Rivertree but in the beginning Laurens Hammond was not pleased at all with the Leslie speaker, not until after his death the combination started to spread her wings.

Tomorrow I will receive this Barbara Dennerlein compilation CD, I am very curious to listen to it after all those euphoric words (while I have not heard a single note of her albums):

At this moment I am listening to  , what an awesome and exciting Hammond work, I am glad that she will appear in my Hammond article, thanks for the recommendations 
Barbara Dennerlein: "The pedals are absolutely crucial for my way of playing the Hammond organ. They enable me to create a very special rhythmic structure which cannot be easily imitated by the double-bass, since together with the two manuals I have a kind of "rhythmic triptych" at my disposal."

I just got a PM from Rivertree (Uwe), I had invited him to
contribute to my Hammond article, this is his proposal:
Uwe: "I have made some lists:
- my Top 10 Of Hammond infected songs
- quite rare and unknown Hammond saturated Krautrock albums
- current german Neo Krautrock/Psych Bands using Hammond
(for this chapter I can also give some additional informations ...)"
I think this is a wonderful extra dimension from Germany

Yesterday I received a splendid How The Hammond Organ Works chapter by vintage keyboard freak Pierre Olivier and today I received an e-mail from Nexus keyboardplayer Lalo Huber, I had asked him to write about his love for the Hammond and he has a fine story, I am sure the Hammond Organ Special will be an interesting one, also because of the great contributions of Hammond freaks on Prog Archives

I've been listening to my old Brian Auger LPs lately since he was added to the site and I'm still blown away by his Hammond rides. The guy is a monster.

Chicapah (and others), at this moment I am writing about Brian Auger for my Hammond article, which albums would you recommend to me? I was blown away by his 1989 Jazz Festival performance I have on a video, so many exciting solos on his Hammond B3, great build-ups and often very swirling, he's a master on the Hammond organ

Erik - Brian Auger's Oblivion Express is worth a listen I recommend - Second Wind (containing one of my top 10 Hammond songs Freedom Jazz Dance) - Happiness Heartaches (which I own as Vinyl - actually not added done  ) - Complete Live Oblivion (if you like live performances)

Vielen Dank, Rivertree, the CD Complete Live Oblivion looks interesting because I love live albums and perhaps it matches with songs on my 1989 live video of Brian Auger's Oblivion Express

Lady In Black, you should check out Jon Lord with The Hoochie Coochie Band DVD (see page 1 of this thread), indeed, he's incredible and a master on the Hammond (very spectacular use of the drawbars). But I grew up with the album Made In Japan, mindblowing work on the Hammond organ and I am glad that it is now on DVD

What, Matthew Fisher mentioned merely in passing? Procol Harum is a God-like collection of organ rockers! And Shine On Brightly has some of the greatest (Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond) organ playing I ever heard, "Quite Rightly So" and "Skip Softly (My Moonbeams)" taking presidence. Avoid not these, oh lovers of the keys.

Hi Erik, I would highly recommend Auger's Live Oblivion Express Volume 2. It is better material than Volume 1. This is Brian at his most pure and unpretentious, really rocking out on the B3 and Fender Rhodes. I think Brian sounds much better live.

No one can play solos like Lord, especially when he was younger. Check out his solos on In Rock or Made in Japan, no one else in rock can play with that much aggression and imagination. I especially like the fact that he rarely relies on qouting other peoples material.
Listen to the jam that comes after Space Truckin on Made in Japan to hear what he is really capable of.

Early Procol Harum is some of the coolest early progressive rock out there.

I second that 100%. Lord rules indeed, and he was the strongest link with prog in DP. *promises not to mention DP and Heavy Prog in the same sentence*

many of you may already know but there is some awesome creative playing on the early Rare Bird albums, and many other bands from the early 70's. Jon Lord was the king though, one trick he did was run his Hammond through a distorted Marshall amp which helped create the trademark Purple sound, and his classical training added some interesting phrases to his solos - his replacement in Purple, Don Airey, is also an amazing player .
