OH MAN he gets such a RICH SOUND from that organ! (well, him and the Victor recording engineers) Estey sure made a fine pipe organ (good reed organs too), and the folks really knew how to make it sound good! I can't believe the range that they were able to get on the record back in 1927! You can hear the 16' basses nice and clear! (Of, course, I'm sure this has been re-mastered for best fidelity).

Gotta love those tasty blues figures!

@KawhackitaRag Well said! What an enormously gifted musician he was. Such a sad story that he died on a train (pneumonia) pulled off to a side rail while a train his close friend - Louis Armstrong - was on the live rail passing through to his next concert - neither knowing of course.

Ahh, play that thang, Mr. Waller, lawd..... Thanks for posting this; hearing him on organ rather than piano is fabulous, especially with such a great vocalist.
