Well Garion81, in my Hammond organ special I give a special mentioning to Eddie Hardin (and of course Brian Auger, what an innovative mind!), check out that early Seventies live album by The Spencer Davis Group, very exciting Hammond work Thumbs%20Up

I love the organ in Spencer Davis Group!   That was a killer sound they had.Clap

Thanks Garion 81, this is one of the rare moments you enter one of my threads, you must be lost on the Forum LOL
 
Where am I? LOL 
 
Really by the time I get to one of your threads they are 5 pages long and most everything has been said!  Must be time gap.   BTW I look forward to your article because I think historically the Hammond was the key instrument in prog.Clap

Eric I know this person has not been very famous but his early work with the Hammond in the early 70's was pretty stellar.  He even did a solo using a wah wah pedal back then.  LOL
 
That would be Mr Dan Wright from Proto-Kaw.

Thanks for your post Mike, I have read her name in the Hammond book by Mark Vail and I know Baldjean is a fan of her, if any Hammond fan wants to write about her, go ahead, it will be a fine addition to my article Thumbs%20Up

I just noticed that Barbara Dennerlein hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread ... it's about time. She *is* the Hammond B3, so to speak.

But listen for yourself: http://www.myspace.com/barbaradennerlein

Go for it, just make sure you eventually get one of his psychedelic records to get the full effect of his innovations.

Well Easy Money, in the past I was a huge John McLaughlin fan (I was delighted about jazzrock in the late Seventies and early Eighties), I have bought all his albums until Belo Horizonte so I presume I have listened to Larry Young. I just read in the Hammond book by Mark Vail that Groove Street is recommended.

Hey Eric, You know after throwing all those Larry Young albums at you I think the one to start with is definitly John McLaughlin's Devotion, its just space blues and laid back psychedelic rock, really easy to relate to, nothing like the usual McLaughlin madness. Larry Young sounds great on there too.

                        I love you Angelo, yours truly: mr. Caveman Heart
 
Easy Money: Pictures At An Exhibition is now my favorite ELP album Clap
Glass House: I am listening too to the new Riverside album (2-CD version), perhaps not that exciting as their previous effort but still a very compelling album with some mindblowing compositions and.. some powerful work on the Hammond organ Thumbs%20Up
 
Thanks to Angelo, here's more Hammond organ picture extravaganza:

                           Here's a mouth-watering preview:
 

 

 
I made these pictures (thanks Angelo Clap) at the home of Frank Obertop, a known Dutch Hammond organ collector Thumbs%20Up 
 
 


Erik, I have to apologize here. When you asked for bigger pictures, I removed the small ones from my photobucket. Here they are again (resized smaller ones using the insert image dialog in PA).

Bought Pictures a long time ago, LP version, maybe I should give it a try again.
Later maybe, at the moment listening to Riverside's newest one. Thumbs%20Up

OK I found a book that lists every Hammond imaginable as well as most other kybds, unfortunately the prices are for what they are worth in 1989.
If that is any help let me know.

A lot of people don't like that record, I think its kind of raw and high energy for ELP, I like a lot of it.

The first time I listened to a Hammond organ was probably when I was 13-14, it was the album Pictures At An Exhibition by ELP (I remember very well because of the cover with the paintings), the boyfriend of my my girlfriend's older sister wanted me to listen to it, "nerveracking" was my conclusion, I couldn't bear the experimentations on the Hammond and Moog Wacko
