It's Hammond B3 Organ Day


I just discovered The Ken Clark Trio and wanted to share my discovery.

Ken Clark Trio Web Site

if you click on the CD's on the right, you can listen to tracks..

Track #6. I Just Woke Up on Mutual Respect sure makes me happy. It was kinda difficult dancing while driving coming in this morning. I imagine my car was hopping down the road :-)

hope you enjoy as much as I have,

I really like After the Rain by John McLaughlin, which features Joey Defrancesco on the B3.
Other than Jimmy Smith I really dig these two: "Live at Club Mozambique", Lonnie Smith; and "Zim Zam Zoom: Acid Blues on B-3", Ron Levy.
NIACIN and anything with Bruce Katz are my favorites.

Having said that.....I can remember Steve Walsh of Kansas doing those hand stands on his B3 while playing & singing. I guess I saw Kansas 8 or 9 times?
Maceo's Roots & Grooves - Advanced Funk and Pass the Peas has some real
funky live Hammond B3 by Germany's Frank Chestenier. I'd also suggest The
anthology collection of The J.B.'s with James Brown playing the organ on several
tracks and simply outstanding on Dirty Harri
