  • 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

  • awesome and superb

  • MORE please

  • 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!

  • I agree and his real nice personality is a big plus!!! -not a stuck up evil snob like some of them were and are!

  • Yep, like JOS.

  • yea baby

  • I just love it

  • tony has an album out titled east to west there is a b3 player from pittsburgh named gene ludwig he is on you tube great player

  • 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!!

  • What can I say?!

    You nail it everytime!

    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.

  • workin the les!

  • can't say any more about the hammond trios! we rock!

  • Yea Yea, now your doing it.

  • Beautiful!

  • 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?

  • 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?
