[occiloscope]

This some of the nicest, heartfelt playing I have ever heard. Cant help tapping my feet when I hear this. First class Leon. Please keep posting.

By the way: leuk om je hier op YouTube te vinden, Leon! 'k Moet maar weer eens naar NL komen als je weer bij de Hammondclub speelt :-)

[himtroy]

Oh god...that tone....

[charliebergy101239]

great performance!!!! is he playing an old tonewheel B3 or the new electronic replica?

[HammondDirk]

@charliebergy101239 : It's a tonewheel, it has the old round drawbars, you can also hear it from the sound when he pulls them: solid metal instead of the plastic stuff used on the New B-3's.

Superb performance as ever.... One of, if not, THE finest Hammond players around.

[qb1bone]

Utterly fantastic! This artist needs no accompaniment whatsoever. I am amazed at the rapid changes of drawbar settings and Leslie speeds. Please post more videos.

I love how Leon manipulates the Organ - his choice of textures and contrasts is so effective. He even re-creates the feel of a big band shout chorus - He really is a one-man band in the truest sense of the word.

Great arrangement Leon!!!

Very nice indeed, enjoyed the event, was there with my brother, you can see us briefly sitting in front at the beginning. Thank you for my friends Cyrano and Neeltje to bring us out!

Great!!

[ladylace11]

One word: FABULOUS!

[zillefabrik]

Clever, erst ein Klassik-Standard, dann aber richtig schöne Improvisation des Oldies!

Wonderfull, thanks!

[JeffMontreal]

You deserve more airtime and international recognition! Hope you don't mind, I forwarded this clip to Nigel Ogden at the BBC, host of the radio show "The Organist Entertains". Will let you know if he replies!

Leon, zou je ook een super variatie op autmn leaves kunnen doen? in Cmin klinkt dat ook zo lekker.

[crosley72]

VeramenteFAVOLOSO!!!!

[amazmace]

He doesn't need drums or a bass player. He can cook and swing on his own. This is beyond words. I'm so lucky I found this!

[victoraudiolp]

Ahhhh, damn it!

Leon is the most unique, and highest technique Hammond organist that I ever heard!

[tehtube]

Very nice playing from master, thanks.

[HammondB200]

Thank you so much for posting, I think this is the most creative hammond-organ i've ever heard, and is the most fun to listen to.

[HammondB200]

I meant most creative organist
