Tony has really payed great respect to JOS in his slow grooves, and his fast jams. What a talent he is to be able to capture the essence of JOS and have so much feeling in his playing. He also did a fantastic job on Hank Marr's Greasy Spoon in the above video. Thanks for keeping the real Hammond Organ music alive.
I've never heard anyone get more sonic variety out of a B3. There are lots of small nuances that most players completely overlook. The non-B3-playing astute listener might have a sense that something is unique, but no clue what it is.
I am the late Jimmy Smith's biggest fan! I also play Hammond organ. My Brother (Jonathan Wood) played Bass Guitar in Jimmy's Band. I was at the jam session in Philly (later in the evening after Jimmy's Funeral/hosted by Jazz Drummer MR. C. ) Tony was there and also Trudi Pitts and Gene Ludwig and a few other legendary Jazz Musicians. Tony, Joey, Trudi and Gene are all very pleasant and just seem like plain (not famous) folk.
So Amazing to see/hear Adam playing the Jazz he loves... I remember when we first formed our band in SLC after discussing musicians at a party, 3 days later we were jamming in his basement!!!
Love the facial expression around 1:08 The Bottom Lip factor meant you knew he was into it!!!
play on brother, and stop by next time you're in Woodstock... we'll have to jam again! -Sean
For some reason J Smith or Joey are less the "turn on" for me than Tony Monaco. He may have learned from Jimmy but puts more "heart" in playing. His fast stuff is great- but oh that slow grooeve- all organ!
I totally agree. Tony studied this genre and practiced his ass off. Now he plays from his heart and it's SO damn soulful. thx Tony! Now you're influencing me!
And yes, Jimmy Smith is my all time favorite musician. And to me the B3 is the only way to capture your true expressions; whe're I've been, where I'm at and where I'm going.
In a world of "jam-baased" music, this is one burnin' dude keeping some traditional organ trio alive, thank God. Great player, is there a cd of this Edinburgh show?

He's a Columbus, Ohio native. He rocks Columbus, regularly.
A student of the late, great, Jimmy Smith's stylings.
Makes the Hammond B3 sing, weep and moan. The guy puts all his heart and soul into it. Go Tony, go!!

Sorry JDHammondman...there was no recording of the Edinburgh gigs. Its a pity really since Tony, Ross and Adam all played storming sets.
Maybe next time?
