One You Tube B3 video I like is Jane Vasey playing with Down Child Blues Band. She does some boogie woogie playing. Also Peter Appleyard is playing the Vibes. It's not just the music it is how much fun they are having. The Down Child Blues Band was the inspiration for the Blues Brothers Band.
Thanks so much for this! Like Hannibal crossing the Alps, or the Hammurabi Stone, or The Flying Buttress! BIG history!! As huge as PULP FICTION, even. And, Little Orphan Leslie, to boot! So much for the Zeppelin, led, or stand alone! ❤ Major!
You say that Hammond invented 3D movies. A quick google search would have shown you that that is not true. 3D movies were invented in the UK in the 1890's. Hammond invented Teleview, a system for viewing 3D movies that was only run for a little while in one theatre. It didn't use the same tech that Polaroid invented that started the 3D craze in the 1950's. So he was "one of the people who invented an early system for viewing 3D movies". Not the inventor of 3D movies. Makes me wonder how much of the rest of the info in this video is inaccurate.
When you're a professional musician (other than organ) and you show up at a gig with a B3 player, it's like landing on another planet. The organ has command of the universe. Sure it plays the bass, rhythm, comping, and melody, all in about thirteen different voices. But then it adds all those rumbles, swells, crashes, explosions, barks and all that other stuff we love. Us poor solo instrumentalists sit on the side and wait for the organ player to have lunch so we can solo. After the concert, people go home and talk about "That guy that played the heck out of the organ. And I think there was another guy on stage too". Thanks, Mr Hammond
The Hammond most likely is the first "portable" synthesizer. Hammond like Rhodes, are names of legendary instruments loved by us all. And the Leslie speaker, like the digital effect pedals used on the Rhodes Piano, has only enhanced a great sounding instrument even more.
A Hammond without a Leslie is like a hamburger without the bun, and without the lettuce, and without the tomato, and without the ketchup, and without the mayonnaise and without the pickles, and without the mustard and without the meat.
Old man Hammond was an idiot to go to war against Leslie and his TREMELO effect cabinet. (Not "vibrato"!) The Leslie cabinet only enhanced the Hammond organ, and that translates into more sales, thus more money. DUH!!
Хэммонд орган это электромеханический инструмент, то есть, он не содержит тн генераторную основу, обеспечивающую тоны высшей октавы инструмента и 12ти цепочек, октавных бинарных (триггерных) делителей частоты, а в нем имеется система с массой зубчатых колёсиков, механически вращающихся, каждое около полюсов своего электромагнита, мини самым, обеспечивается генерация тона, причем, гармонический состав этих генерируемых колебаний зависит от формы зубчиков колеса. Для чисто гормонического синтеза звука используются колеса с волнообразной формой, дающей синусоиду, а в иных случаях, ( для регистрового синтеза) применяют колеса с меандровой формой зубчиков, либо с пилообразной...
One of the greatest of all time is Maestro Richard “Groove” Holmes. There is a reason he is called “Groove.” His feel is so beautifully aggressive especially when he is playing the Blues. His left hand Bass playing was so metronomically steady and inventive. In my opinion, no organist has ever swung so ferociously. Joey DeFrancesco has a similar hard “take no prisoners” feel in his playing. The Hammond is just a wonder.
