now i hope KEYBOARD MAG copies are finished. Barbara D. is a good hammond player - like hundreds . But what is new ? what is typical of her style ? she would be nothing without jimmy smith, jimmy mcgriff, brother jack mcduff, lou bennett, shirley scott, larry young, to name but a few. in germany we had ingfried hoffmann !! he was awful.
nice clip. have some of you fellas saw the wow cheats pack at warcraftbotsXinfo (replace X with .) ? it's awesome, i recently down loaded the pack. its got absolutely every thing in it, gold guides, bots, hacks, glitches as well as the newest arena glitch. i probably should not reveal to people about this however at the very least this gives you all a fair opportunity to download it before i pwn you all
This guitar players tone & dirty setting on the rhythm guitar part while BD is soloing ( 1st 2 mins or so) are kinda lame - he shoulda been using a clean tone. His solos are pretty good tho-
If you noticed all these comments are designed to boost your egos. Ms. Dennerlein doesn't even go there. As an organist myself I find her without a strong ego and just plays the *&&%$%! out of her self. I feel better now!
If this were a video of an auto race would you be complaining about the color of her car and lamenting why can't it be the same color as yours? How good is your driving? I'm impressed with hers. Or would you just rather compare tubes?
Btw, there are lots of colors to enjoy, including some here. Her sound tone, distortion amount and even her aggressiveness of style here is quite different than what's captured in some other videos on YT.
making jealous comments need their Butts filled with concrete! They are the kinds of scumbags I love ripping apart and eating. God I'd love to cannabalise their sorry Butts"!
Im not sure what ......you damn fools are talking about but..back to the subject..Jimmy Smith is going fukin nuts seeing this bitch almost burn up his damn b3 and catching on fire with funk lol
first of all, Doctortracy - shut up. if all you can hear is "widdly widdly widdly widdly". then why did you bother to keep listening? you obviously dont know as much about jazz as you think you do. Im a Hammond B3 player, not an "air hammond player" as well so listen good, Barbara is phenomenal and i wish i could play even half like she does. and 2ndly, you can see shes using a damn B3!! you can hear its an organ!! USE YOUR DAMN EARS CHILD!!!
To say that Barbara is not talented or lacks creativity is to be purely ignorant. She has major skills in both departments. I find here pedal work to be amazing. I can appreciate the technique that it takes to play this style. It is not for me, but I can enjoy what it represents. I am into a little more bluesy, funky, gospely organ. Some others may like something else. The bottom line is that Barbara is a premiere musician and deserves the respect for the work she has put in to the craft...
you can shut the hell up...your just pissed off that you cant play that. She deffinetly worked for how she can play and what shes got. I'm not an organ player...im a guitarist..work damn hard at it too. So maybe it's a pitty that you try to look down on other persons hard achievment...
Remark on the equipment she played (1989!) in that recording. If so, only the foot pedal was already midi-fied with a sampler. She played an electronic bass instead the organ-bass right from the beginning (prob 1983). The organ was still 'pure'. She had an addditional DX-7 on top of the organ.
"Dennerlein played a short series of gigs at New York's Sweet Basil's... - she attracted a large crowd of musicians and organ devotees, most of whom came in curious and left as converts. In the insular world of jazz organ, it's been a long wait for true believers in search of something new. Apparently, the wait is over." KEYBOARD MAG
We get it doctortracy, you don't like her or her music. And yes some people didn't like the fact that she modified her B3 with Midi technology.
"When Miss Dennerlein plays her 'organ', it sounds like she's using two Yamaha DX7s. In fact, why does she bother using an organ at all?" ORGAN PLAYER MAG
"Her solos avoid patent Smithian effects: Instead, she thinks like a horn player, preferring coherent long lines to stuttering single-key repetitions or gimmicky sustained high notes. Then there's those feet. Simply put, Dennerlein has astonishing bass pedal chops." KEYBOARD MAG.
What is she saying? Somebody please tell me!! Playing lots of notes, very fast, isn't that difficult. Playing in a way that uses space, tension and mood on the other hand, is more challenging. Think Miles Davis, Coltrane, John Patton. Don't fool yourselves that all those notes she uses means anything. Incidently, "Peter Gunn" was composed by Henry Mancini....ring any bells with you nerds out there? Hmmmm....probably not.
Dude fuck Miles! He was made by the ppl that played for him. All he ever did was turn his back to the audience, blow a couple of notes in a mike and then walk off the stage. When you asked him why he did that the fucker would say it was minimalism! LOL!
WTF are you talking about! I hate soloist that just noodle incoherently just as much as the next guy! She doesn't fit that category! There's lots of thematic ideas going here which is what I look for in experienced improvisers. Do they use phrasing to for musical sentences and paragraphs. I'd say she does!
In the Netherlands we have a Hammond player Carlo'dWijs whohas a special made Hammond B3 with sinthbass and a hydraulic system to rise and lower the Hammond in the flightcase. You must see it to believe it.
Reading all of your comments it occurs to me that I'm an outsider, coz frankly, watching Miss Dennerlein play is like watching an excercise in soulessness and pointlessness. So many notes, played very very fast, in no particular order. Widdley widdley widdley widdley is all I can hear. Perfect for all you air organists.
She's absolutely great! Nevertheless, she isn't a patch on Rhoda Scott (I can't find any videos of her anywhere). See Rhoda's website at www(dot)rhodascott(dot)com
Dennerlein uses samples frequently. Her Hammond is real (of course), but she has a sampled double bass on the pedalboard and she frequently plays piano or vibes patches on her lower manual via MIDI.
There is nothing wrong with sampled instruments. :D
the guitarist gave me his business card yesterday, as i played my guitar in the music store

yeah i gotta agree with some of the haters -
that organ sounds like shit.
i'm way impressed with her skill level, but the tone is shit and i hate this kind of fake jazz.
very 80's.
(i know, i know ...it was the eighties.)
dickravis 3 years ago
The tone is shit?
It's called overdrive, done on either the Leslie or on newer B-wannabees, electronically.
If it's "too 80's" for you, I suggest you listen to Barbara today...still kicking it just as hard in 2009.

my A-100 / leslie 122 growls like a fuckin bear when i step on the gas, but thanks for the lesson pops.

you must not be a Jazz musician or organiist.
You must understand Jazz to appreciate it's SOULFULNESS.
Take a course in the musical history of Jazz,
then you will be able to understand (widdley, widdley, and widdley)
Ms. Dennerlein delivery and interpretation in Jazz is that of Beethoven, Chopin and Mozart to Classical.

Couldn't agree more Organplaya (and there's a reason she has won the Downbeat Critics Poll so many times.)
I checked out doctortracy's favorite video after his SOULESSNESS comment and it was "Peter Gunn". To each his own.

Rhoda Scott and Barbara Dennerlein are friends and have appreared together on stage at jazz festivals.
One concert was broadcast on European TV this year, perhaps someone will post a clip.
Both women are amazing musicians. They played together in a spirit of mutual respect and admiration. An examaple worth following.
