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.

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

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 |

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

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.
That would be Mr Dan Wright from Proto-Kaw.

Good idea Mike, at this moment I am checking out recommendations like Larry Young by Easy Money and I will make time to listen and watch Super Barbara
Thanks Garion 81, this is one of the rare moments you enter one of my threads, you must be lost on the Forum Edited by erik neuteboom - October 19 2007 at 15:25 |

Where am I?
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.

About the Hammond as the key instrument in progrock, the Mellotron remains my #1 vintage keyboard but since a few years the Hammond organ has become firmly my second best and I love its role in progrock, especially in bands like Julian's Treatment, Vanilla Fudge, Hansson & Karlson, Odyssey, Beggar's Opera and Fuzzy Duck but also The Spencer Davis Group with Eddie Hardin and the duo York & Hardin, a "Hammond freak's wet dream"

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

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

Brian Auger is great as well. I love that tone he has as well as the jazzy style he infuses without really leaving the boundary of rock. Dan Wright told me Brian was a huge influence on his playing as well back in the early 70's.

Careful when you enter the back garden in your sleep - don't forget you live on the third floor  |

Garion81: a few months ago I have put music video's on DVD with my new Panasonic, on eof the video's was a 1989 Brian Auger concert (a jazz festival) featuring awesome work on the Hammond with many solos, this man is a legend!
Angelo: I live on the 6th floor, not on the 3rd and I have to be very careful because often I dream that I can fly, Freud would analyse it as an archetype for my deep wishes/feelings to feel free and to act with freedom

Erik, I'm really looking forward to this hammond organ extravaganza, collaborations from pierroliver and Dick "the encyclopedia" Heath in addition to your work will surely make it the comprehensive hammond resource
 , and of course we can count on ozzy tom's list to uncover those obscure gems. Good luck and keep up the excellent work "flying dutchman" |

Jimmy Row, thanks for your positive words about Barbara Dennerlein, it was the final push I needed, I have just ordered the Best Of Barbara Dennerlein CD, there are two versions, one with partitures. I hope to include my impressions about that CD in the Hammond article.
At this moment I am listening to a live CD of The Spencer Davis Group, loaded with Hammond work by Eddie Hardin
The forthcoming weeks I am planning to listen to lots of prog with Hammond because of my Hammond organ article.
By the way, I am very happy with the contributions of several PA members, it gives an extra dimension to the article
