No sheet music, no metronome or accompaniment, no bass sustain, no Leslie even...just a video I recently found of me playing the 1972 Hammond C3 & PR40 I owned a few years ago while I was living in Dublin, but sold just before I moved back to the UK in 2020.
I'm no Jazz organ master - merely an amateur - but this is me practicing some songs by the greats;
[0:07] 'Jimmy's Walk' by Barbara Dennerlein
[2:55] 'Pistachio' as performed by Rhoda Scott
[4:51] 'Rumpelstilzchens Bossa' by Barbara Dennerlein
Both of these incredible ladies, as well as Jimmy Smith, Steve Winwood, Brian Auger, and Vincent Crane were all big influences on me back when I was learning to play the Hammond Organ in my late-teens/early-twenties.
Despite owning several different organs over the years (the C3 in the video being the most recent), and becoming proficient enough to play the instrument live a great deal in a few different bands (which my back now hates me for!), I was sadly unable to dedicate the time towards reaching the level of mastery that I would have liked to, because of other musical ambitions that were more of a priority at the time, and also the issue of not being able to afford to keep the instruments themselves, and having to either sell or trade them for others as circumstances required along the way.
It is however something I would like to get back to doing at some stage, and has always remained a crucial element in my original music, as can be heard throughout most of my album 'What's Going On Upstairs?', particularly in the following three tracks:
'The Secret Show':
• The Secret Show
'Life Is A Nightmare':
• Life Is A Nightmare
'Misty Blue':
• Misty Blue
'Surreal' is the euphoric new 'Rock'n'Soul' single, written and performed by Cam Forrester.
