Hammond Organ Jazz : IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU オルガン ジャズ

[nateinunderaminute]

feels great!!!

[TheOrganiston9th]

Your playing is truly brilliant, and SATISFYING as only the greatest B3 jazz can be! The Nord C1 is the best... I've played mine for almost a year and a half, and prefer it over any clone I've played... I enjoy it more than, dare I say it, my Hammond M-102 & Leslie 760! Thanks for this great music!

[gingervytis]

Nice playing, but really crappy video effects junk.

[heitleavepop]

nice nice !!!

[OWMYNE]

best video ive ever seen on youtube and PERIOD.

[JeromeMaatz]

its hot

[vivazapata74]

love that little thumb slide thing you do while holding the top note with the right-most fingers (ring or pinky... can't tell, but equally possible). thanks again for sharing :-)

[steveykeeffe]

Love that sound, enjoyed your playing.

[khdannemark]

the sound Clavia NORD is verry good, but the handling drawbars is to slow. The reason why HAMMOND create XK3 with XLK3 lower manual, you have a B3 on stage, but it cost tripple Clavia Nord. PRO + CONTRA

[EddieLandsberg]

Hi! Not really... I find that once you get used to the drawbars on the C1 they're pretty easy to use... in fact you don't have to worry about locking in the LM settings while you're soloing... and you can run a lot of pre-sets... but you have to be willing to modify your technique.

And there's a reason why a "Hammond B3" cost's triple.

[WhiteboyMN]

Yeah, Eddie. Nice and swingin'.

I, too, was a Hammond 'purist' until a couple of years ago when age and other practical considerations led me to Nord. They *really* have it figured out. I can't afford a C1 yet, but I do a double manual routine with my electro 61 that works beautifully. I even use 'antique' Crumar pedals.

And for recording? Fuggitaboutit!!! No hassels with mic-ing, noise, nuthin'. Just no-fuss, lovely organ -- oh, Rhodes and Wurlie too.

[EddieLandsberg]

Have you tried out the Native B4, by the way?

I'm a techno-dummy so I'd worry about the programming crashing MID gig, but aside from the C1, I think B4 would be top of my list. - - I loved the Electro, but the high end shrill used to annoy me... Still, even then CLAVIA was way ahead of the competition.

[jolcom]

Eddie, I got a B4 with a double keyboard setup, and it's a little disappointing. Sound quality is excellent, and the computer is stable. The problem is the convenience factor. I have two keyboards; MIDI/audio interface; B4D controller; iBook. This means five power cords, three MIDI cables, and three travel cases. I have a two-tier stand with a shelf to hold it all. Guess what—packing/unpacking is a pain. With a C1 you've got one box with one power cord. And no, I am not on the Clavia payroll.

[EddieLandsberg]

Hi ! that was always the problem with clones and chops over the years... they were lighter, but by the time you got screwing, unscrewing, connecting and setting up you barely had any energy left to play... As a result I really regretted chopping my A-100... and would have even preferred a gutted A-100 to the B-3 Portable which is an improvement, but still a pain in the ass... Anyway, it would be cool if B4 actually came out with a couple manual clone... obviously that's not their concept.

[rounder2u]

You are so good!! Excellent playing!

I just wish you would take some time to upload a few more videos :-) with overhead perspective and just a clean picture so that we lesser players can se your hands clearly, and see the organ settings :-)

Anyway. This is top-notch playing! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

[hocobo]

cool colors bro

[tomkittelkey]

Excellent yound and excellent playing! Way cool man!

[hal8053]

I had to listen a second time to verify that the tune was as stated. Mostly sounded like a well done LH bass prominently done with occassional RH splash chords, passing tone and - rarely - a short phrase from the song of the title. But Eddie you do it well and this is what the public goes for- keep the bass constant and loud- the rest is immaterial.

[EddieLandsberg]

I couldn't have put it better myself...

[sts121]

That Nord Really sounds good, I can't believe I'm saying that about a non-Hammond :)

Super audio quality too.

[EddieLandsberg]

and I can't tell you how relieved I am that its out...

Part of surviving as a musician means taking gigs that often offer more "PR" than pay... and getting out and moving around... but with a 450 lb. instrument always on the bring, a lot of the fun is lost.  I admire all the organist who for years who've been lugging their beasts around - - however, often I wonder is it really worth it. At under 50 lbs. the answer is... YES!

[ilbofilms]

I'm the one who posted this tune by Rita Reys. She is a Dutch singer, she is 81 now and still filling the concerthalls in Europe

You doing a fine job playing this tune as well

[EddieLandsberg]

anyone reading this can link to the video we're talking about by going to MY FAVORITES... You won't regret it... it also features rare footage of Oliver Nelson and a wickedly swinging ensemble !
