Shock Horror!
Ken no longer uses a B3...  he's now using one of these new fangled C3s:

Jim, thanks for posting that exciting Ken Hensley picture, I knew it but I couldn't find it on the Internet. I have visited his own website but that was a bit disappointing.
 By the way Jim, that Ken Hensley shot is also on the DVD The Classic Heep- The David Byron era, at one moment Ken starts to drink that plastic cup with beer (on the top of his Hammond on the left) and halfway he keeps it in his mouth while playing with two hands on the Hammond with a big smile
 !Angelo, I have decided to take an one day break in order to let my vistors and posters breath
 Lady In Black, fine story!
Paul, thanks!
I would like to thank everybody for reading, visiting and posting

Erik (and others): Which type of organ use Al Kooper in "Super Session"? I think that it's a Hammond organ. Unfortunately in the booklet of the CD the photograph was treated with fog/ to dots effect And I don't understand that model it is.
If I read correct various photo seems me a C3 model. But I am not very secure.
P.s.: extreme great "Stop" with a great Hammond! Edited by Lady In Black - November 23 2007 at 08:20 |

Thanks, Erik.
What is your opinion about Bloomfield/ kooper/ Stills "Super Session"?
For me: Basically is a Blues Rock album with great Progressive moments and a great organ and guitar.The version of "season Of The Witch" here contained, "Stop", "Albert's Shuffle" and "His Holy Modal Majesty" are extreme great songs, also in Prog field, considered that this album is from 1968. A great trio, also for PA.
And for you?

Lady In Black, many, many years ago I bought the album Super Session because I am blues fan too, it's a classic
.. but in those days I didn't realise I was listening to a Hammond organ!

Oh my God... You cannot betray your wife with a Hammond... You don't succeed to do sex!
Seriously... From Brian Auger I succeeded to make to buy Mandrakeroot the first three album of the Trinity. Not ugly. The only Prog moment is the Hammond work, nevertheless.
I don't have an idea like 60's production of Auger (with The Steampacket and the Mod Years compilation that is present in PA). You can help me?
(excuse me for this use of this thread. But I think that this post have a sense, since Auger is a Hammond king)

Lady In Black, this weekend I will publish my Hammond Organ Special Part 4, it includes a contribution by Dick Heath, I am sure he will mentions Brian Auger, otherwise you can send him a PM for recommendations. I am not really into Brian Auger, I only have a concert video from a 1989 jazz festival concert that showcases his incredible talent on the Hammond organ By the way, I have already betrayed my wife with a Mellotron, she gets use to my fascination for vintage keyboards but I have promised her to keep some time and energy for other things |

Hammond Extravaganza Part 2 : A HAMMOND S
Topic Options
erik neuteboom wrote:
The brainchild of this musical project was Julian Savarin. He was born in Dominica but moved with his family to Britain in the early Sixties. He was a writer and a keyboard player and longing to fullfill his musical ideas. Julian recruited his own band with John Dover on bass, Del Watkins on guitar, Jack Drummond on drums and Cathy Pruden on vocals. They started rehearsing and gigging round London as JULIAN'S TREATMENT. In june '70 the label Youngblood released their first album “A Time Before This”. Two years later Julian was approached by Birth records to make a new album. Only bass player John Dover came from the old line-up, other musicians of JULIAN's new band were Nigel Jenkins (guitar), Roger Odell (drums) and Jo Meek (vocals). And in '73 the second album “Waiters On The Dance” came out, credited by Julian J. Savarin (nowadays a famous writer!). In 1990 the British label See For Miles Records released a compilation with material from JULIAN'S TREATMENT recorded between 1970 and 1973. It’s entitled “A Time Before This ... Plus” and a perfect showcase of the exciting sound from JULIAN'S TREATMENT: lots of organ, strong female vocals, a dynamic rhythm-section and some piano, guitar, flute and Mellotron. The music frequently alternates from melodic progrock in the vein of EARTH & FIRE (female vocals and layers of organ) to ominous climates with hints from the Gothic scene featuring haunting vocals and majestic Hammond organ. My highlight on this compilation is the compelling composition “Child of the night 1 + 2” delivering wonderful vocals, impressive Hammond organ, some beautiful flute – and violin Mellotron waves and fiery electric guitar, this is the band at their best. The music from JULIAN'S TREATMENT sounds very dated and relatively simple but if you love the organ-based progrock bands from the early British Progressive Rock Movement like RARE BIRD, BRAM STOKER, QUATERMASS or GRACIOUS, don’t miss this underrated, often missed band with the powerful female vocals and splendid organplay as their trademark!
